You will only hear about the republican ones if they do something stupid....the media loves to jump on them....:)

So what is the point of having any politics in those fields? I don't get it.

Because people in Hollywood are very politically active and use entertainment as a medium to influence others' views and, sadly to say, many people are influenced by what they see in movies whether they think they are or not. Hollywood as a whole is one of the most anti-Western, anti-religious institution on the planet.

After Angels and Demons is released, check out the imdb.com boards of that movie and you'll see just how much people believe what they see in films.

John Stossel from 20/20 started his career looking to protect consumers from big bad corporations. He enjoyed putting execs pushing shoddy product in the hot-seat. After looking into solutions he discovered that the unhampered market was the strongest and best protector of the consumer. He switched from a strong advocate of government controls to a free-marketer. Look at some of his stuff on youtube.
