I heard this book (http://www.amazon.com/Primetime-Propaganda-True-Hollywood-Story/dp/0061934771/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1307917710&sr=8-1) being promo'd on several talk radio outlets on Friday.
Worth a look.
Everyone knows that Hollywood is biased. Shapiro's book, though, offers a fresh perspective because he has the villains admitting their anti-Republican, anti-Tea Party, anti-conservative, pro-Democrat, pro-communist, pro-socialist agenda in their own words.

Sounds like a scary movie kinda a thing to me...you know there is going to be something bad come up, yet you cannot look away. It's almost as if you have to decide to look at it or stay completely away from it, no in between! No doubt many of the disclosures will sicken people and confirm our worst fears.

Just finished this book. I'd recommend it. Yeah, we all know Hollywood is biased but the quotes are priceless. Nothing like a liberal waxing eloquent on being inclusive while blackballing conservatives. I laughed out loud at many of them.
It's a fast read and worthwhile.
He explains how it came to be that Hollywood is liberal -- it dates back to when tv began. He also analyzes old and new shows for liberal bias--including shows that now many would consider old-fashioned. At the end he includes his list of the 12 most conservative shows and why.
If anyone else reads it I'd love to hear your comments.
