On "Hollywood Bush-bashing": Fox's Varney said he "will not go to see people who insulted my president"
Summary: On Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto, substitute host Stuart Varney, after complaining about the "essentially leftist movies" produced by Hollywood, offered an apparent explanation of declining movie ticket sales: "[T]here has got to be a lot of people like me who will not go to see people who insulted my president in the year 2004 and that election. I can not divorce their talent from their political views."
In a January 2 discussion about what he dubbed "Hollywood Bush-bashing," Fox News contributor Stuart Varney said, "[T]here has got to be a lot of people like me who will not go to see people who insulted my president in the year '04 and that election. I cannot divorce their talent from their political views." As substitute host of Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto, Varney asked guest Tom O'Neil, an awards blogger for the Los Angeles Times, about the choice of Comedy Central host Jon Stewart to emcee the 2006 Academy Awards: "Tom, you think that Jon Stewart just can't resist engaging in Bush-bashing?"
Varney then asked O'Neil: "Will Hollywood never learn? Their Bush-bashing in the '04 election was a noticeable failure. Why do they return to it now?" Regarding declining ticket sales, Varney stated: "You've got movie attendance constantly declining, box office revenue keeps going down, fewer and fewer tickets sold at the box office, and yet Hollywood keeps on coming out with essentially leftist movies. Don't they see the writing on the wall?"
After proclaiming the upcoming 2006 Academy Awards "the most political Oscars in years," O'Neil included in his list of "political" movies the "three gay films: Brokeback Mountain, Transamerica, Capote."
From the January 6 edition of Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto:
VARNEY: Well, try finding a show of Jon Stewart's where he isn't taking pot shots at President Bush. Now imagine him hosting the Oscars. It's about to happen. My next guest says the Academy Awards this year could be one big Hollywood Bush-bashing event. From Los Angeles, Tom O'Neil, columnist for the LA Times site TheEnvelope.com. Tom, you think that Jon Stewart, he just can't resist engaging in Bush-bashing?
O'NEIL: No, that's what he does, and he does it very well too. Let's give this guy his due. The Daily Show is brilliant, and his satires are right on, but putting him at the Oscars -- and not just any old Oscars -- the most political Oscars we've seen in years. Look at the movies we've got: Good Night, And Good Luck. -- Edward R. Murrow going after [Sen.] Joe McCarthy -- we have three gay films: Brokeback Mountain, Transamerica, Capote; we have Syriana about oil conspiracies, etc. We are putting Stewart into that mix..............
