You could have given a hint on what the article is about. That being said, I don't think that it's that big of a deal about who are the heads of Hollywood movie studios. The bottom line is what makes money, in other words, the public.
The issue I have is with that 'loaded' poll question; "Does Hollywood share the vaues of typical Americans?" I have seen a couple of tv evangelists attack "Hollywood" values. But the same question could be asked of art in general. Do artists in general share the values of the typical public. I think the answer is no. The purpose of most art is to expand our awareness, not just reaffirm our current values. An example would be the play "Uncle Tom's Cabin", in the mid 1800's, which dramatized the evils of slavery in the US.
