Angelina Jolie’s father Jon Voight is an outspoken republican and in his latest rant he rails against President Barack Obama, claiming that his administration has “taken over” mainstream media.
Voight is in Florida attending the Republican National Convention and he even compared what he sees as media control to Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez!
