"There's no question Hollywood is a liberal community"

Post by A-R »

Someone posted this on Facebook. Thought it was worth sharing.

This will either be an eye-opening shock to some :eek6

Or a "yeah, tell me something I don't know" moment for many others :grumble

I am not surprised that Hollywood is liberal. I am a bit surprised by how overt they are about it.

Making a movie/TV show is largely a creative process. Most people need to be comfortable to be at their creative best. All else being equal, people are more comfortable when they're around others who are like-minded. So it makes some sense that an industry so totally dominated by one town would be naturally be somewhat homogenous, politically speaking. It's the part where they're actively pushing that gets me.

I read somewhere that, statistically speaking, liberals watch CSI and conservatives watch NCIS. I wonder if the political views of the writers, cast, and crew track with that?
I am not a lawyer, nor have I played one on TV, nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, nor should anything I say be taken as legal advice. If it is important that any information be accurate, do not use me as the only source.
