Jason Bateman Criticized for Remarks on Trump Supporters

News summary

Actor Jason Bateman faced backlash after criticizing Donald Trump supporters as 'insulated from the facts and common sense' during a podcast with Nicolle Wallace. Bateman expressed both fascination and empathy for Trump voters' dissatisfaction with the system but questioned the media sources they trust, specifically Fox News and Breitbart. Fox News hosts, including Kennedy and Greg Gutfeld, responded by telling Bateman to 'shut your pretty mouth' and suggested he listen to his Trump-supporting sister, Justine Bateman. Dana Perino and other conservatives argued that Bateman himself is insulated from reality. Bateman's comments also triggered calls for a boycott of his work on social media. The incident underscores the persistent polarization between Hollywood and conservative media over political discourse and media bias.
