I think it's a given that: 1. The entertainment industry leans liberal. 2. The entertainment industry has considerable influence over the worldviews of the young and uneducated. I'm guessing you agree with 1 but disagree with 2?

Yes. If you are interested, Hume is the first to talk about how we can imagine different non-moral facts more easily than different moral facts, which drags us out of fictions.pic.twitter.com/5gxR27MaTj

Hume is fascinating, but I'm not sure what he has to do with our discussion. Sure, moral principles can change, but I wasn't asking about that. The question was how much influence the entertainment industry has over the young and uneducated.

He’s talking exactly about whether entertainment can make you change your mind morally.

Are you sure about that? As far as I can tell, he's not making any epistemic claims. He's talking about how far entertainment should reflect reality, and then goes on to say that it is hard but possible to change people's minds. Correct me if I'm wrong.

You are. I agree it’s hard but not impossible. Most people don’t realize how hard. “very violent effort”

But this is all opinion. I'm not sure how it disproves the conventional wisdom that entertainment influences people's worldviews.

I seriously do not have time to re-aggregate all the research I did. Pretty easily available on Google Scholar. Start with “imaginative resistance philosophy” then move to empirical stuff.
