‘The Mentalist’: A Case Study in How Hollywood Maligns Conservatives

Warner Todd Huston "This was a quick, hard to notice shot at Ronald Reagan but for what reason? Couldn’t they just as easily have said that the con man was a close personal friend with Jimmy Carter? How about Bill Clinton? No better con man ever set foot in the White House than Bill Clinton! Yet these TV writers had to reach back decades to slag Ronald Reagan! This episode’s slap at Reagan is a perfect example of the quick, anti-right slant that Hollywood wallows in every day in ways small as well as big."
