@mattklewis I've seen every episode of 24, and I oppose torture in all respects and find what GWB allowed to happen to be repugnant
As socons have long lamented, Hollywood entertainment eventually drives public opinion.https://twitter.com/emilynussbaum/status/542499099191177217 …

@dmataconis politics is downstream from culture. (And most Americans haven't thought thru these issues to the degree you have.) -
@mattklewis Maybe. Personally I have never found the "culture war" arguments either convincing, or very insightful -
@dmataconis Do you doubt Modern Family and/or Will & Grace shifted opinions about gay marriage? -
@mattklewis Perhaps, but those shows succeeded because people found them entertaining not because they were pushing an "agenda" -
@dmataconis I'm not suggesting Hollywood overtly pushes its values. That doesn't work. I'm suggesting it does so organically, & it matters. -
@mattklewis find them because they want to find them whether they are really there or not -
@dmataconis I'm merely suggesting that, over the course of years, the things we see and hear gradually impact our values and attitudes.

@mattklewis I really have to say I question people who can't differentiate between a television show and reality. - 1 more reply

@mattklewis Disagree - even millennials are immune to Hollywood's message at this point. The audience really isn't listening.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
