That's because, frankly, they never do anything interesting. And they're
not so much conservatives, but anti-left (which should be close enough in my
book, but I still can't get look past their lack of any quality,
whatsoever).
Granted, I'm not sure Zucker's much better, in quality. The clips I've seen
of the new movie haven't exactly impressed me with their grace and wit.
While the subject matter may be different, the general tone and quality of
the humor seems to be on par with "In Living Color" or your average
high-school student. I had hoped to see better from my side.
That being said, Hollywood does have a left-wing bias. Sure, you can pick
out some right-wingers, and for each of those, I can give you five leftists.
That's fine. That's just the way life is. Just like the military has a
right-wing bias. What I don't understand is all the obsession with
everybody trying to deny the bias. It is what it is. The left took over a
market segment. Good for it. Now let's all move on.
