Why is Hollywood so liberal?

May 15, 2016, 12:35 PM | Updated: 12:56 pm

The way the power structure works in Hollywood is that they ignore crimes committed by great talent. And this is how Hollywood ends up so lopsided in terms of morals; it’s how producers of films that make $900 million in revenue can claim that their film never made a profit.

Nowhere is this clearer than in the cases of Woody Allen and Roman Polanski.

Woody Allen has been accused of molesting his adopted daughter. And then he married another adopted daughter of Mia Farrow. Yet he goes on to win awards, make movies and be applauded, because he is a great talent. Talent begets revenue and revenue is a God.

Hollywood is liberal because they know in their hearts what they have built in that town. They know about the casting couches. They know about Roman Polanski drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl. But they give him Academy Awards and standing ovations.

This is related to why they’re liberal. They don’t want to be judged. But since they’ve done some bad things they want the government to help the poor. They want to force other people to be good.

If you want to go to Hollywood and create art and music, more power to you. But understand the trade-off. And understand why Hollywood is so liberal.
