Jeez, no wonder Californicated has so much trouble protecting kids

from being molested: so much of Hollywood and the politicians seem invested in either doing it, or protecting those who do.


From another piece:
“The reason we find pedophiles … in kids TV is that’s where the kids are,” the host continued. “DeSantis wasn’t wrong. We’re so tribal now, the left will support child fucking if the wrong party calls it out.”

Later, Maher pointed out how Brian Peck — who was convicted of sexually assaulting a Nickelodeon child actor in 2004, which was later revealed to be Drake & Josh star Drake Bell in the docuseries — was hired by Disney to work on a children’s show after serving his time in prison. (The Hollywood Reporter previously reported that Peck voiced the role of a mirror on three episodes of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody for Disney Channel, and worked away from the show’s set, in a voiceover studio. THR also learned that Disney fired him immediately after learning of his conviction.)

“For pedophiles in Hollywood, it’s a small world after all,” Maher added.

When he's right, he's right.  But that ending of 'giving kids a break from our culture wars at least until the election is over' bothers me.  Makes it sound like part of the reason he's upset is that this crap is hurting the Democrats.  It may not be that, but it really bothers me.
