Satire -
No it isn't.
The good news is you don't have to listen to their view. You can turn it off or change the channel. What if it was your Doctor or your accountant would you feel that they didn't have a right to express their constitutional right to free speech. Again, you don't have to listen to any of it. All you have to do is stop thinking of them as some character on a screen and accept that they are human beings with opinions just like you have. Or is the problem that they don't have the SAME opinions that you have. Kathy Griffin does that for a living, you don't have to accept it, you just have to allow them to speak. I have seen nothing but right and left advertisements on TV for months now. Some positions I agree with, some I don't and I pay for my TV cable but unless I want to change the channel every few seconds I have to listen to it. Just like everyone else, they have a right to express it. You do not have to agree with it.
You may be a lot of things, but free thinker isn't one of them. I free thinker is willing to listen to all sides and then make their own decision as to the relevance of what was said. Not base irrelevance on one's occupation.
So I'm not a free thinker because I don't care what celebs political views are? Do they care what mine are? Do I get free air time too? I listen to all sides and have no problem discussing politics with anyone in a calm, thoughtful manner. I don't like the yelling, name calling, and foul language from either side. And a free thinker can turn off any show she/he chooses. FWIW...I don't watch soap operas either.
HUh...no...the one word is Fargo..... wood chipper is two words

Easy answer is the people that rant about hearing political statements from celebrities happen to agree with her..so it's fine, she's ok.
It's not that you don't care, it's intentionally avoiding a show solely because you know there will be a particular political view you disagree with presented at some point during the show. Of course you don't have to watch but you admitted to not watching specifically for that reason. Not very free-thinkery. Plus, anyone unironically calling themselves a free thinker is probably the farthest from it, at least in my experience.So I'm not a free thinker because I don't care what celebs political views are?

Which is worse since her political statement went on for episodes, not like other actors who announce it over Twitter.
I actually don't care. The shows became a "B" fest and I stopped watching. Don't care what they wear or how many awards they get or their opinion about anything. It was 3 hours of crazy...IMO. I also don't watch sitcoms, game shows, or day time talk shows. Nice that we still have the freedom to choose what we want to watch. Off to finish packing.....
Not exactly sure what the point is, but no matter how you look at it you are actively wanting to stop people from exercising their rights as citizen to speak out at what they see as wrong. I cannot see what difference it makes what their occupation is since you have the freedom to not listen or disagree. Just because you don't care, does not mean that others do not need to hear it and all you have to do is turn away. That is your right and probably the simplest solution.So I'm not a free thinker because I don't care what celebs political views are? Do they care what mine are? Do I get free air time too?

I'm willing to stop the discussion as well, since it is just going around in circles anyway, but my point was that you felt and said that you don't get free air time. What do you call this place. It's a social site and you are not paying to be on it. You are expressing your opinion and you expect me to at least listen to it. (or read about it) I don't even know your occupation and don't need to because it doesn't matter. Mostly politicians get the free ride. Who do you think is paying for AF One to fly all over the place to give a political message. Do you get to do that? No, but those that do use it for their own agenda. If you were an entertainer and had that forum, wouldn't you use it and wouldn't you have that right? The answer is of course you would. You are correct you can not watch or not listen that is your right and the only control that you should have. We have become a nation of controllers. We feel that we must prevent others that disagree with us from expressing how they feel. When all you have to do is change channels, shut the device off or listen and, perhaps, add it to your bank of knowledge. That is all I'm saying. This went from a personality tests about celebrity's into a who has a right to use whatever platform that is available to them. And that is not our choice.
