Shazam! Star Commits “Career Suicide” — Or Does He?
When Zachary Levi stood onstage at a Sept. 28 rally in Michigan and endorsed Donald Trump, he declared it an act of “career suicide” that would end his chances of working again in “very, very liberal” Hollywood. The crowd ate it up, applauding the 44-year-old Shazam! star for his sacrifice to the MAGA cause. But in L.A., there was more than a little head-scratching.

So we can go watch or stream them.
No bias there.
“a convicted felon and adjudicated sex offender —”
Quit there. Drivel.
What you said - "Reading mainstream media these days is akin to a mini lobotomy".
Everyone should get a free facepunch on both of these fabulist hacks.
Sex offender? That's news to me. What was he accused of?
And the irony of the left giving a crap about sexual immorality. Can you say *Bill Clinton* and *Joe Biden* to start with?
And let's not forget Ted Kennedy.
Chuck vs. The Left
Exactly! Love it!
One of my all-time favorite shows.
Exactly! Those are big lies!
Don’t forget Al Franken and Harvey Weinstein.
And I’m sure there are many others we could add to the list.
