@dmataconis Do you doubt Modern Family and/or Will & Grace shifted opinions about gay marriage?

@mattklewis calling it a "culture war" misses the fact that all Hollywood really wants to do is make money. -
@dmataconis That's also an assault on traditional values. They sell sex & violence because it makes $.They sell materialism & consumerism... -
@mattklewis and entertainment lies for the consumer/viewer -
@dmataconis Therein lies the problem -- and a huge challenge for conservatives to overcome.

@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.
