More Media Coverage

I was reading an article about those voices in Hollywood that have supported the war effort and are unhappy with their fellow actors who have spoken out against the war.

Then I came across this quote from Steve Doocy, of Fox News' morning show "Fox and Friends."

"In the past, Hollywood celebrities have never been held accountable for some of their kind of kooky ideas that aren't in line with the balance of America."

Read that again. Mr. Doocy is arguing that celebrities need to be held accountable if their thoughts differ from the balance of America. First of all, who determines what the balance of America is thinking? Secondly, why does someone need to be held accountable for thinking differently from his fellow American? Did that suddenly become a crime that needs to be punished?
