Hard to fathom. Hollywood as the most powerful force in this nation. One would think churches might be more powerful.
Is that a joke? Churches?
Let's test your theory:
Churches claim that out of wedlock sex is a sin and should not be engaged in.
Hollywood since the 50's have promoted unwed sex as the goal every child strives for.
So, have the churches prevailed? Is unwed sex practically unheard of, or are 6th graders throwing orgies like they saw last night on TV?
Churches teach that a baby must be born to a mother and a father who are married and who will raise the child in an environment of the family embrace.
Hollywood teaches that women who have children out of wedlock are brave and that men really are just abusive molesters who endanger children..
So, since 1950, have the number of out of wedlock children plummeted to the point of non-existence? Or risen thousands of percent, to the point that 9 out of 10 black children are born to a single mother, and 6 out of 10 white children?
So, who influences the direction of our culture? The churches?
National political organizations such as the NRA might be more powerful than a sitcom. But if a scapegoat has to be found (and a scapegoat is always preferable to a palatable political idea for Conservatives) Hollywood will suffice.
Facts of course demonstrate the opposite of your claims We can breakdown the influnce of Hollywood versus the NRA as easily as I broke down your lie about the influence of churches...
