Simon remained conventionally liberal until the 1990s when he began asking questions in response to events such as the O.J. Simpson murder trial . Simon , a former civil rights activist in the 1960s , said he was shocked by " the kind of essential dishonesty to justice " of Simpson 's acquittal . Simon said , " I found the use of racial politics in the O.J. trial so repellent to me , morally , but also , I could n't believe it was happening right there in front of my eyes . It started to shake up some things . And then came 9/11 . " Simon experienced a political transformation in which he felt alienated from what he saw as the excesses of the Left after the realities of the September 11 attacks affected him . He jokes , " I may be the first American writer who was profiled both by '' Mother Jones '' and '' National Review '' . " He supports same-sex marriage and the War on Terror , and contends that those issues are linked . He also edits a weblog . In 2005 he founded , with jazz guitarist Charles Johnson , webmaster of the Little Green Footballs weblog , a startup company called Pajamas Media . Pajamas Media , now known as PJ Media , expanded in 2008 into Internet television with Pajamas TV , now known as PJTV . Simon , with screenwriter Lionel Chetwynd , hosts PJTV 's " Poliwood " show , covering the intersection of politics and Hollywood
