However, the ranks of dumb right-wingers has dwindled, according to Harris, whose video has her saying: “At least, you know, we put Obama in office.

considering that Ben Shapiro's who an Orthodox Jew tricked all the interviewers into thinking he was a left winger even though he wrote conservative books in the past shows that while the ranks of dumb right-wingers has dwindled the ranks of dumber left-wingers has gone up.

Default Nope, no bias here at all!

Not really news to those of us who actually pay attention instead of being part of the MSNBC sheeple-

New York Magazine Admits Hollywood's Systematic Liberal Propagandizing

NY magazine admits that conservatives have a right to be upset:
When Joe Biden endorsed gay marriage in May, he cited Will & Grace as the single-most important driving force in transforming public opinion on the subject. In so doing he actually confirmed the long-standing fear of conservatives—that a coterie of Hollywood elites had undertaken an invidious and utterly successfully propaganda campaign, and had transmuted the cultural majority into a minority. Set aside the substance of the matter and consider the process of it—that is, think of it from the conservative point of view, if you don’t happen to be one. Imagine that large chunks of your entertainment mocked your values and even transformed once-uncontroversial beliefs of yours into a kind of bigotry that might be greeted with revulsion. You’d probably be angry, too.

Its not a very big well kept secret...to most of us anyways. Much like the news media, Hollywood has held a liberal biased for years and have used their platforms to make Conservatives look bad and prop up and push liberalism. Heck, even Sesame Street people have admitted to pushing their Lefty ideas on to vulnerable kids.

Even if you are a liberal, are you really okay with all this? Sure maybe you hard core libs, but the average Democrat, how about you? You want every medium out there being predominately Liberal and pushing their ideas, sometimes sneakily, in to their shows/movies?

Its amazing that Conservatism is doing as well as it is right now. Given how much of our society pushes liberalism and has an extreme bias, its simply amazing we Conservatives exist. However, I think the fact of this large bias that has been going on for a long time, has played a big role into the downward spiral our society has been in for a long time.
Nope, the big role playing into the downward spiral is some people whining about Liberal Hollywood pushing Liberal ideas then singing praises when someone in Hollywood or Nashville says something they agree with. In other words, the idea that it is awful when "they" do it, but wonderful when "we" do it. It is called Hypocrisy.

If you still think HBO's "Game Change" and "The Newsroom" are completely unbiased, apolitical cable entertainment-

Entertainment Company Employees Give Overwhelmingly to Democrats
A new report finds that entertainment company employees give six times as much to Democratic causes as Republican ones. Those toiling for HBO gave an even greater amount to liberal causes.

Speaking of biased TV programming has anyone else noticed that the channel Planet Green has been changed to Destination America with a new logo creepily similar to Obama's marxist campaign one?

Planet Green being rebranded Destination America on May 28

I used to enjoy watching Planet Green, they had some good programming. But if they're going to rebrand themselves as yet another Obama propaganda channel then I'll have to take it off my channel favorites.

No there's no Leftist bias in Hollywood-

Actor who played drill sergeant in 'Full Metal Jacket' says he was fired by Geico for anti-Obama political views
R Lee Ermey, who played the iconic drill sergeant in 'Full Metal Jacket,' claims he was fired by Geico for his vocal opposition to the Obama Administration.

Not long after the ad debuted, he was forced to apologize after saying President Barack Obama was bringing America to it's knees and 'imposing socialism' during a Toys 4 Tots fundraiser that was broadcast live in the Chicago area.

Yeah, I got fired... Geico fired me because I wasn't too kind about speaking about the present administration,' Ermey told TMZ.

He said it's part of a bigger problem in Hollywood.

'If you're a conservative in this town, you better watch out,' he warned.

You righties claim that a business has the right to hire and fire anyone for any reason, yet whine like little girls when some business does exactly that. He is a spokesperson and they have the right to get rid of anyone they feel does not represent the views or policies of the company. Whine to your fellow righties, no one else is buying the BS.

Moreover, it's not "Hollywood" firing him. It's a big insurance company firing him.

I'm dying to know what liberal agenda is being pushed all those Law & Order's, CSI's, Hawaii Five 0's, Bones, Coroner in high heel, Closer, Sheriff shows that you can watch pretty much nonstop.

Or,

All those agenda pushing reality shows, like Wives of New Jersey, Being Gotti, Dancing With Whoever and America's Got Idol's With a Voice Who Have The X factor?

Frankly I don't see it, but then I don't watch Extra TMZ Entertainment and Celebrity News.

Or, maybe it isn't TV all those movies like....

Prometheus, G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation, Total Recall, The Twilight Saga, John Carter, Wrath of the Titans, or maybe liberalism is the subtext of Snow White & Huntsman?

Correct but the far right is jealous that many in Hollywood do not agree with their train of thought, when one or two do they will trot them out in a heartbeat, sounds like sour grapes on their part. As usual the right wants a double standard, something one poster claims only the left is guilty of, the shear Hypocrisy is amazing.
