Do Jews Run Hollywood- Duh?

user submitted pictureAfter riding the tip from Jewschool, we got seriously caught up in Ben Stein‘s E!Online essay that asks the rhetorical question “Do Jews Run Hollywood?” Written in response to the late Marlon Brando’s weird bigoted ramblings on Larry King Live in 1996, we soon realized the article was at least seven years old (no, Sherry Lansing is not head of Paramount anymore. No, Michael Ovitz and Michael Eisner no longer share the top positions at Disney. And Seinfeld been in syndication land for a long time now…) Stein touches on the anti-Semitism of the question itself and answers it “Yeah, and what the hell of it?” but he has left a trail of disaster in the wake of this article, giving fodder for research nasties (this site is confusingly titled, watch out) who believe the “Jews of Hollywood” are an actual cabal of little old men trying to run the world. Uck. If it were true, we hope we’d have a better-paying job.
