"Hollywood is not necessarily biased toward a particular political view, but it is biased toward what does and doesn't make money. Since 9/11, the market wanted these almost comic book characterizations of Muslims as the bad guy. But that market has dried up. It's not interesting anymore. They want different narratives about Muslims and Middle Easterners, and networks are looking for ways to do that."
