Sarah Anderson writes at PJMedia.com about the latest example of out-of-touch American celebrities.
There’s nothing I love better than someone, who gets paid millions of dollars to play pretend, claiming I’m an idiot, but it happens more often than you might think, especially when a Republican wins an election. And I especially love it when they go overseas and talk trash about the United States, as if they’re somehow above it all, even though if it wasn’t for this country, they wouldn’t have the money, fame, and privilege they’ve earned thanks to the willingness of American citizens to pay for their art.
Today, I bring you not one, but two such elitists who went to Italy and told the press there that A) you can’t think for yourself and B) you aren’t educated.
First up is firearms expert, known homophobe, and Donald Trump impersonator Alec Baldwin. Baldwin spoke on a panel at the Torino Film Festival in Turin, Italy, where he earned what I assume is some sort of Hollywood self-congratulatory award. He carried on about how the news is a business in the United States and is just there to make money. (Fair enough. Who wants to work for free? I don’t.) But then he suggested this creates a “gap in information” that perhaps the film industry could fill. (Because the film industry…isn’t there to make money?)
I guess he believes us American idiots need propaganda from the film industry to save us all from ourselves because, folks, we have no idea what’s really going on in the world. …
… Baldwin wasn’t the only washed-up old actor to make a fool of himself at the film festival. Shar[on] Stone also appeared on a panel, and not only did she attempt to school Italy, of all places, on fascism by inadvertently comparing Trump to Benito Mussolini, but she also called Americans “ignorant” and “arrogant,” and suggested we’re in our passport-less “extraordinary naivete” era.
