TIM ROBBINS ON THE MEDIA
MSNBC HARDBALL? | 05/25/05 | FGS

Posted on 05/25/2005 8:18:16 PM PDT by ForGod'sSake

I was channel surfing when I happened to catch Prissy Matthews interviewing Tim Robbins actor/activist(sic)(scraggly beard and all).

The discussion moved to Hollyweird generally, and Prissy asked Robbins about the monolithic liberalism of Hollyweird(the question from Prissy a bit of a shocker in itself).

Paraphrased:

Tim: I don't see Hollyweird as monolithic in its politics, and there is essentially a full spectrum of political beliefs there.

Prissy: Then why is it that everyone we see and hear from Hollyweird appears to be liberal?

Tim: Must be the media.

What, I says to myself?!?! Here's this bleedin' heart from Hollyweird basically saying the media has/is creating what appears to be an industry/cultural political monolith in tinseltown(say it ain't so).

Holy cow! I held my breath waiting for followup.

Still waiting...

Prissy never blinked an eye as he moved on to more important things, whatever they were. I was still waiting for the media comment followup and never heard another word.

Now, media bias is nothing new to us around here, but this coming from a bleedin' heart in such a casual manner left me flabbergasted. Still am.

In other words, Robbins is a liar.

Welcome aboard. Would you mind expanding on your thought? Seems your comments more or less verified what he said, but I've misread things before.

Good point! A few others do also - Kelsey Grammer, Gary Sinise, Patricia Heaton, there are more. But clearly skewed to DU commie land. And the media is fairly mum on the conservative stars, except to grudgingly report the occasionally newsworthy item on them or to gleefully cover some error they've made.

It too was a labyrinth. It became a cult because of that. Nobody could understand it, it pointlessly poked fun at everything. And had a great score.

Even now cultists are still in that labyrinth.

I heard from someone who knew someone in NY who dated him. Supposedly he's a completely arrogant jerk and goes through violent mood swings - politics related or not. Just a guardian variety jerk.

Ol' Pud Nose made a faux pas when he accidentally played narc and fingered his media enablers.

My thoughts too. You would have had to seen the segment to really get the flow of the interview, BUT it just sort of fell out of his mouth. So matter-of-factly it seemed genuine. Can't ever tell about these types though, he may be quicker of his feet than many would give him credit for.

Actor VINCENT D'ONOFRIO is laughing off reports he collapsed on the set of legal drama LAW + ORDER: CRIMINAL INTENT because he was upset about the outcome of the US presidential election. Reports circulated late last year (04) that the fervent Democrat passed out because GEORGE W BUSH was re-elected to The White House. But THE CELL star insists the story is ridiculous: "We all had a big laugh when that article came out. "I ended up in the hospital because I was shooting this (Law + Order show) and I was working on a film I directed over the summer. I was exhausted."

Yup. A dope.

I don't work in movies, I have friends who do, and although I've not heard about D'Onofrio, I remember reading that he had to be treated for the willies or something after Kerry fell on his face.
