They shut off the internet temporarily too I believe. It's always a real worry when there is a information blackout like that to hide what's going on.

This might get nasty. Probably stirred up by USA/Saudi.

Hollywood has had abusers from all sides. Plenty of studio heads were republicans and took advantage of their power back in the day on the casting couch. Politically they have gone further too with the likes of Ronald Reagan President, Arnie and Clint, and Charlton Heston as the A-lister NRA lobbyist. Then there were virulent far-right anti-semites like Walt Disney.

A long list here of some very famous and powerful Republican Hollywood stars which kinda proves it is not a Liberal free for all up in them thar Hills. [Link]

In terms of abusers I would agree that someone's politics is really neither here or there......it can be pointed out that those on the left are the bigger hypocrites but all that is merely grandstanding at the end of the day.

However, your last paragraph has to be countered along the lines of balance of political representation in modern day Hollywood.

Hollywood was always inclined toward the more liberal....but today there is out and out discrimination against right wing actors and workers...if you aren't 'fitting in politically' you aren't going to get the job or the start......It's an open secret and there's a fair amount of documentation over hiring practices....Crowder spoke about the problems he had getting started....hell he had to go independent in the end.......Recently those on the right have been highlighting this because even the ethical on the left haven't spoken up.......and the numbers of declared actors willing to say they are on the right is tiny compared to the left.

'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

Ah, the liberal ‘[insert group to deflect argument] of all hues exist’ standard deflection.

Unfortunately, in Hollywood, the liberal elite and majority, through its programme of not wishing to seem an ‘ist’ or promote an ‘ism’ of any nature, has created the vacuum for the abusers not only to exist but to flourish.

Pointing out which actors are Republican is not a satisfactory rebuff. It is a deflection and one that highlights the moral weakness of liberals in defending the society they have created since the 1960’s.

Very much like religion then.

You mention 'since the 60's...' Yet from then, and for the majority of the time, the most powerful governments and most powerful media, who have affected social policy and, thus, society itself, to where we are today here and in the U.S, have been very right-wing.

Murdoch, Black, Thatcher, Reagan, Nixon, Bush and the neo-Cons, Dacre, Desmond, etc. What have the liberals to offer? Bill Clinton and John Major and maybe throw in Matthew Wright as a freebie.

The people whom your criticism should really be aimed at are the former but because they come from the same political arena you don't/can't so you blame others instead. You would make a good politician yourself.
