Syriana was financed by Cuban and his independent film company. Warner Brothers bought the rights to the film later. Another film bought by a major studio from Cuban's film company was the semi-documentary on CBS's news department's (Edward Murrow) showdown with Joseph McCarthy in the 50's. I believe it was titled "Good Night and Good Luck." It was also purchased by Warner Brothers. Bloomberg may be Republican, but even he makes Hillary look a tad bit right leaning. Parties don't necessarily ensure a candidate's ideology. Bill Richardson is a Democrat, but he tends to be of a conservative ideology. Does that mean the Democrat party is now the home of conservatism? As you pointed out in a previous post, most of em are the same. Point is you have to research and read a fellows works to get a feel for which direction he comes from and where he is headed.
