but to tie all this back in to the point of the thread, i think it's totally false to say, as the PTC seems to think, that there's some sort of conspiracy to shove certain "hollywood values" down impressionable, innocent, dewy-eyed 14 year throats.
It's naive to assume that those working within Hollywood are unaware of the power of media to shape opinions and values. Everyone from GLAAD to the PTC to Sears is aware of this. For the most part, so long as such organizations don't get in the way of the bottom line, most higher-ups in Hollywood don't care either way -- hence why I think that most Hollywoodians don't give much thought to marriage either way.
I also don't think there's such a thing as "Hollywood values." However, there are lobby groups across the political spectrum working to get the ear of Hollywood, and the resultant attention of the world. One only has to survey the recent list of political donors to see which side has more of a listening ear in town. Reasons for this are many and varied -- personally I think it's because conservatives spend more time cursing the (real or perceived) darkness than lighting a candle -- but to say that there aren't agendas is a bit naive. TV is a medium for the advertisement of much more than manufactured goods.
