The huge success of overtly patriotic movies such as American Sniper and TV shows such as NCIS, argues John Podhoretz, demonstrates how out of touch the cultural elite is.
This parochialism is a form of willing blindness about what America wants to watch. That’s why it keeps coming as a total shock when works of popular culture that celebrate the military rather than pretend it doesn’t exist blow away shows about narcissists picking lint hair out of their belly buttons and whining about their careers.
He’s right.
But I don’t expect Podhoretz to acknowledge, any time soon, the hugely disproportionate role that liberal coastal Jews play in the creation of Culture.
