LA Weekly: ‘Liberal Pop Culture Has Officially Outlived Its Usefulness in Politics’

CNS News reports:
LA Weekly writer Jonny Coleman has written a criticism of liberal celebrities who get involved in politics.

“This year will be remembered for its toxic fluff,” Coleman writes in the essay. “Provocateurs and dime-store Howard Beales such as Seth Meyers, John Oliver, Lena Dunham and Andy Richter have demonstrated zero political efficacy. If anything, we'll never know how much their smugness ostracized potential allies and inflamed the opposition’s base. No one — even the undereducated and marginalized — enjoys being condescended to. “
