And that's not all!

You think this Media slant [bias] towards the left is confined
to newspapers, periodicals, TV? [I deliberately left out the media of radio & internet; Nice to have you back, Mr. Limbaugh!] Think again!...

I grew up as a teen and a young adult in the 1970's when right-wing idealogy
was mocked and scorned not only by the Walter Cronkites of the world, but by HOLLYWOOD , too.
RICHARD MILHOUSE NIXON was a magnet for the hatred [YES, HATRED!] of all intellectuals,
and media back then..Still is!
On the other hand ROBERT REDFORD, BARBARA STREISAND, MARTIN SHEEN are viewed by a majority of the Hollywood crowd as POLITICAL HEROES, while JOHN WAYNE, CHARLTON HESTON,
and CHARLES BRONSON are and were mocked and reviled as political DINOSAURS.
And how did HOLLYWOOD portray RIGHT WING/PATRIOTIC Americans back in the 1970's?
By ridiculing them in such TV Shows as "ALL IN THE FAMILY"....
They stereotyped RIGHT WING/ PATRIOTIC Americans with the character of ARCHIE BUNKER
in that show by portraying him as a BIGOTED, RIGHT WING/ PATRIOTIC working-class, white
Protestant.
Do you think HOLLYWOOD has now repented of that underhanded swipe at your values and
beliefs?
