and treated as if it is arrogant and presumptuous of them to think anyone cares about their views on anything more important than who should get a Best Supporting Actress nomination.

Yet David Geffen unloads on Hillary and Bill Clinton and his comments are treated as if Franklin Roosevelt has risen from the dead to offer his opinion on current affairs.

Since when has the MSM ever given a tenth of a whit about what any Hollywood type has to say about anything, much less given it any credence?

Does anyone besides me find this strange?

1. It's because Geffen said aloud what alot of Hollywood has been thinking
but, were too afraid of hillary to say it. they are sick of the clintons basically.

2. But when Natalie Maines spoke out...
she was assaulted and banned from Radio. The MSM had no trouble giving her a ton of negative publicity. On the other hand, that was Nashville (Music Row), not Hollywood. At least Hollywood has some normal people.
