Hollywood weighs impact of election

The outcome of the battle for the White House will have consequences far beyond entertainment. But next week's election will also impact Hollywood, influencing culture and policy in crucial ways. In redefining the pop cultural zeitgeist, it could indirectly affect which movies are made and how much media regulation conglomerates face as well as have an impact on digital development and cable-news ratings. And it will vault some personalities to popularity and doom others to obscurity. The principle: What's good for one category of entertainers under one administration is bad for another.
