Michael Caine's acceptance speech at the Oscars supports your observation, as does John Irving's notes at the end of the novel trashing conservatives. (It's sad to see a talented novelist stoop to agitprop.)

That's too bad. I wonder why he feels the need to trash conservatives? Doesn't he want them buying his books, or does he consider their money tainted?

Because he's a jerk. Being part of the Left means you want to trash not only conservatives, but also all the traditions of individual freedom on which the country was founded.

Seems unbelievable to me, yet almost the entire media (including most "creative" people) and education establishment are on this bandwagon.

A question that could well be asked of Alec Baldwin, or any of the Hollywood crazies who insult us all at the Academy Awards. I do not remember if you were watching how LOTR did on Oscar night, but it was pretty revolting for those of us who were watching (and not just because we lost Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor, and had to watch Gandalf making a spectacle of himself in the audience.)
