Scripts Depict Drudge, Breitbart as 'Pathetic,' 'Evil' - Hollywood in Toto

Scripts Depict Drudge, Breitbart as 'Pathetic,' 'Evil' - Hollywood in Toto:
"...Hollywood hates Trump, Republicans even more than we thought, according to Vanity Fair's insider account.
"...The article’s subhead says it all:
Trump’s West Wing denizens, with all their intertwined backstories, are a screenwriter’s dream. But liberal Hollywood wonders: how do you make drama if everyone is evil?
Dig into the piece, and you’ll find just what many artists think of not just Trump but anyone aligned with the Right – “these people are monsters.”
...“I can’t see these getting made simply because I can’t see anyone wanting to play a sympathetic Drudge or Breitbart,” one award-winning producer told me. “It’s like playing a sympathetic Jeffrey Dahmer.”
For context, The Drudge Report posts links to other news outlets, occasionally sorted to curry favor with right-leaning audiences. Breitbart helped start The Huffington Post, inspired a new generation of conservative artists and reached out to those with whom he disagreed. 
Dahmer killed 17 people and often ate their remains.
...Either way, the Vanity Fair article is clear. 
Conservatives, for the foreseeable future, won’t get anything close to a fair shake from Hollywood."
