Someone posted this on Facebook. Thought it was worth sharing.
This will either be an eye-opening shock to some
Or a "yeah, tell me something I don't know" moment for many others

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?
