Yes, among other things. TV/film writing is the one area where reactionary 
cries about "liberals" and "socialists" are closer to the truth than not. 
Which is a good thing.

Not all writers are like that, of course (I've met/known my share of selfish 
pricks). But you'll find more socially-conscious scribes in Hollywood and 
elsewhere than you will in, say, the corporate news media.
