Ignoramuses without scripts - Americans Trust Actors Most

Take the words, written by others, away and they come off as goofy ciphers. Unscripted, the thespians of the left sound much as Obama does with his teleprompters down. m/r

Americans Trust Actors Most | FrontPage Magazine

According to a new poll from Reader’s Digest, Americans know who they trust: actors. The most trusted person in America: Tom Hanks, producer of the great series Band of Brothers, and actor in not-so-great movies like Larry Crowne and Castaway. Hanks also happens to be a wild leftist – he once stated, “Back in World War II, we viewed the Japanese as ‘yellow, slant-eyed dogs’ that believed in different gods. They were out to kill us because our way of living was different. We, in turn, wanted to annihilate them because they were different … Does that sound familiar to what’s going on today?” When he came under fire, Hanks told the truth: “Look, I’m an actor. I’m not a politician. I’m not a statistician. I’m not a legislator.”
But he is trusted.
And he’s not the only one. Clocking in at number two was Sandra Bullock, star of The Blind Side. What has Bullock done to earn trust? Nobody knows, but we sure like her onscreen. Also in the top ten: Denzel Washington (Flight), Meryl Streep (The Iron Lady), Steven Spielberg (director of Lincoln), Alex Trebek (host,Jeopardy!), and Julia Roberts.
Hollywood is heavily overrepresented on the list as a general matter. A full 40 of the top 100 people on the list are chiefly cultural figures from television or movies. Ubiquity is what matters.
Now, no one can tell us much about why actors and actresses should be trusted.
