The Politics of Hollywood with Andrew Breitbart

Taped on May 05, 2009
Identified as “one of the ten most important people in the media that nobody’s ever met,” Andrew Breitbart details why leftward-leaning Hollywood is dangerous for America and why the people who run it are “uninteresting,” “vitriolic,” and “vicious.”
