Lee Greenwood’s all-star tribute on Great American Pure Flix has the liberal media in meltdown mode as patriotic entertainment makes a powerful comeback just in time for Independence Day.
The woke entertainment industry just got steamrolled by something they never saw coming.
America’s most beloved patriotic anthem is making a massive comeback that has leftists absolutely furious.
And this Lee Greenwood’s all-star tribute is bringing Hollywood the devastating news they’ll never recover from.
The Conservative Media Revolution That Has Liberals Panicking
Great American Media just announced that "An All-Star Salute to Lee Greenwood" will stream exclusively on Great American Pure Flix starting Thursday, July 3rd.¹ But this isn’t just about one special – it’s about a complete transformation that’s leaving liberal Hollywood executives in a cold sweat.
The timing couldn’t be more perfect.
As America prepares to celebrate its 249th birthday, the man behind our nation’s most powerful patriotic anthem is getting the recognition he deserves from a network that actually celebrates American values.
Lee Greenwood’s "God Bless the U.S.A." has been uniting generations of Americans since 1984, reaching the top five on country charts three different times and becoming the only song in any genre to accomplish that feat.
Great American Family’s Stunning Success While Mainstream Networks Collapse
Here’s what’s really driving Hollywood crazy – Great American Family has become the fastest-growing network on television while traditional networks are hemorrhaging viewers.²
Bill Abbott, the CEO and President of Great American Media, didn’t mince words about why his network is thriving. "I think we are relentlessly, again, focused on being supportive of family, faith, and country," Abbott told the Washington Examiner. "And those are principles I think that the majority, vast majority of Americans can agree on, and we will never deviate from that strategy."
That’s the complete opposite of what viewers are getting from mainstream entertainment.
While other networks push woke garbage that families can’t watch together, Great American Family delivers content that actually reflects American values.
The numbers don’t lie – Great American Family finished the second quarter of 2023 as the "Fastest-growing network on TV in Total Day Women 25-54 (+83%), Households (+214%) and Total Viewers (+216%); and Primetime Households (+178%) and Total Viewers (+167%)."
Donald Trump’s Favorite Singer Gets the Recognition He Deserves
Lee Greenwood isn’t just any country music star – he’s been called "Trump’s favorite singer" and has performed at multiple presidential inaugurations for Republican presidents including Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and most recently, Donald Trump.³
The 81-year-old singer wrote "God Bless the U.S.A." in 1983 after the Soviet Union shot down Korean Air Lines Flight 007, killing 269 passengers including a member of Congress.⁴
What started as one man’s response to tragedy became America’s unofficial second national anthem.
The song experienced massive surges in popularity during the Gulf War, after September 11th, during the Iraq War, and again during Trump’s 2016, 2020, and 2024 presidential campaigns.⁵

The Special That Shows What Real American Entertainment Looks Like
"An All-Star Salute to Lee Greenwood" was recorded in Huntsville, Alabama, and features performances by some of music’s biggest names including Michael W. Smith & The Isaacs, Gavin DeGraw, The Oak Ridge Boys, Scott Stapp, and Big & Rich.⁶
For Pure Flix PREMIUM subscribers, the platform is hosting an exclusive "Exclusive Conversation" with Lee Greenwood hosted by Bill Abbott himself.⁷
This is exactly the kind of programming that families are hungry for – authentic American entertainment that celebrates our heritage instead of tearing it down.
Why This Drives the Left Absolutely Crazy
Liberal media executives are losing their minds over Great American Family’s success because it proves everything they believe is wrong.
Abbott left his position as CEO of Crown Media (Hallmark Channel’s parent company) after the network faced criticism for initially pulling commercials featuring a lesbian couple.⁸
Since launching Great American Family, Abbott has attracted major talent who were fed up with Hollywood’s woke agenda, including Candace Cameron Bure, who left Hallmark specifically because she wanted to work with a network that would "keep traditional marriage at the core."
The success speaks for itself – in Q4 2024, Great American Family was the only network in its peer group to see household audience growth, according to Nielsen.
The Future Looks Bright for Conservative Entertainment
Great American Media’s expansion into streaming with Great American Pure Flix proves that Americans are ready for alternatives to woke entertainment.
"The technology of storytelling has evolved, but the need for faith-affirming narratives remains constant," Abbott concluded. "As long as audiences continue seeking these stories, we’ll be here to tell them."
The Lee Greenwood special is just the beginning of what promises to be a golden age for conservative entertainment.
While Hollywood continues to alienate middle America with divisive content, networks like Great American Family are proving that there’s massive demand for programming that actually celebrates American values.
The liberal entertainment establishment is about to learn a harsh lesson – when you abandon your audience, someone else will serve them better.
