Once again, Hollywood tells the American people how stupid they are because they don't embrace Hollywoods lop-sided view of the world.

All-star Propaganda Signals Hollywood's Isolation
Posted by: Michael Medved at 6:24 PM

The new film “Lions for Lambs” with Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep and Robert Redford won’t hit theaters until November 9, but the screenwriter has already announced that his purpose was to show “how ridiculous the war was” and to scold Americans who for electing “a guy who doesn’t care to read any military history.” The film’s political agenda helped win quick approval from Hollywood honchos and the New York Times reported that “the project may have set a new record for speed.” Nevertheless, director Redford worries that the film may fail because the public’s too stupid to embrace it. “America doesn’t like to look at itself,” he declared. “That’s why Carter got booted. He had the gall to tell people, ‘We’re not doing so good.’ That’s why Reagan got elected: ‘Morning in America.’” Robert Redford’s amazing, enduring preference for Carter to Reagan represents one more glaring, laughable illustration of Hollywood’s isolation from the American mainstream.
