When will far left hollywood die?
Films like this are absolute nonsense.
share"I also don’t buy the notion that Hollywood has a liberal bias. Yes. You heard me right. They don’t.
They are just as interested in making pots and pots of money as the rest of the conservative elite in this coutnry is. It just so happens that they make their money with (by and large) storytelling. And storytelling has been the foundation of lots of human rights movements, and the birthplace of many opportunities for underprivileged peoples. If you want to call human rights liberal, then go right on ahead.
But, even with all the good intentions of “Human Rights” that many filmmakers and actors care about, Hollywood is far, FAR from a liberal bastion. There is pay inequality, racism, bigotry, and plenty of poverty just like in many other parts of our nation. And—news flash—it isn’t the actor’s or the celebrities faults. So, stop getting in a tizzy about what Jon Stewart says. He’s not making the decisions for ALL of Hollywood. Liberal as he may be. Much like any large mega industry, most of the people that make the decisions are ones that you haven’t even heard of.
I don’t really feel like explaining this ad anuaseum. I’d rather just quote the LA times[1] on this one:"

"If you want to call human rights liberal, then go right on ahead."
Conservatives play this game, too. They usually characterize their line of thinking "common sense". And it's just as unpersuasive when they do it.
"Hollywood is far, FAR from a liberal bastion. There is pay inequality, racism, bigotry, and plenty of poverty just like in many other parts of our nation."
Strange that you believe liberalism is incompatible with these vices. You ever see Get Out? The white people in that movie are unabashed liberals. They use their politics as a shield while they carry out unspeakable cruelty.
"Much like any large mega industry, most of the people that make the decisions are ones that you haven’t even heard of."
We've heard of them. Harvey Weinstein, James Cameron, Bob Iger, George Lucas, & Sumner Redstone are all big-time Democratic donors. This is the crux of this whole discussion. Actors have always leaned left of center & I suspect they always will. Same way that farmers lean right. Nothing wrong with that.
But historically, this was checked by the moderate/conservative influence of producers. We live in a unique era where producers are pushing the talent tot he left. That's what the OP is getting at.
