Unfortunately, not surprising.
Great article.
Well stated personal experience in a dying industry. (Yes, I mean that)

pinging yall to an interesting article
These people are pitifully shallow and crave so much attention and adulation that they love to preach about politics -something they know nothing about- with so much authority. The problem with this way of thinking is that it's reflected in their movies and TV Shows, and a lot of people in America and around the world get their “facts” from movies like Fahrenheit 9/11.
What's most ironic is the Jews in Hollywood -the bigwigs- praising and protecting the Islamic terrorists and trashing American patriots. What these dunces fail to see is that Islamic terrorists will cut their throats off without hesitation and in a NY minute at the first chance they get. Islamic extremists hate Hollywood for what it represents. They see it as the cradle of immorality and degeneration. They don't make exceptions whether they're conservatives or terrorist sympathizers. The same applies to English speaking people. The terrorists won't hesitate to kill them as long as they speak English regardless where they come from.
Canada has been praising the fact it has opposed as they called it --to the US-led invasion and occupation of Iraq-- and its proud for not having contributed troops to the coalition forces, thus the terrorists should never touch them. Just recently the fanatics killed a Canadian man.
I should emphasize however, that the Islamic terrorists are against the whole world. In Iraq, they have already seized and killed hundreds of foreigners including Iraqis, whether for ransom or just for being an infidel.
If only the bigwigs in Hollywood would understand the facts, they wouldn't be acting so foolishly.
BTW, did you notice how Robert Avrech (the author) was asked to write about Rush Limbaugh but in a negative light?
Script #2. I have been hired to write a bio-pic about a very famous Republican talk-show host. A man who has revolutionized the radio format. I decide that I’m going to be up front with the studio executives.
“I’m not going to assassinate this man,” I explain. “If that’s what you want, get another writer.”
“No, no, we want you to do it because you have such a good feel for character. Just be honest.”
I’m a moron. I believe them.
I go off and write the script. I hand it in and walk into a firestorm of a meeting. I’ve been too gentle with the talk-show host, they say.
“How?” I ask.
“Well, look at what he’s done to this country,” an executive challenges.
“What, he has 25 million daily listeners who adore him. What’s he ever done except almost self-destruct on pain killers — which I portray in all its awful detail.”
“But he’s a hypocrite!”
“In what way?”
“Well, he talks about family values and look how many times he’s been divorced!”
