Transformational power: (Excerpts from Wormwood)
It is not unfair to argue that, for the last half century, Hollywood elites have become a new class of prophets speaking their version of truth into the living rooms of America. And it if frequently debilitating and corrosive to our cultural mores….

Last summer, commentator and writer Jonathan Chait penned a fascinating article admitting that the cultural and political left - of which he declares himself to be a part - had intentionally used Hollywood as an instrument of social change. …

“Imagine that large chunks of your entertainment mocked you values and even transformed once-uncontroversial beliefs of yours into a kind of bigotry that might be greeted with revulsion,” Chait said to fellow liberals. “You’d probably be angry, too.” In his 4,200 word commentary, Chait pointed to example after example of Hollywood’s overwhelmingly leftist slant - and its passionate effort to change American society….

In 2011, conservative commentator and syndicated columnist Ben Shapiro interviewed more than 100 well-placed Hollywood insiders. These industry elites assumed that Shapiro was liberal, and their candor in admitting the open secret of leftist bias resulted in the book, Prime Time Propaganda..

According to an article in the Hollywood Reporter, Leonard Goldberg said that liberalism in the television industry is “100% dominant, and anyone who denies it is kidding or not telling the truth.”..

A study released in 2012, for example, demonstrated the power of television to even erode the marital bond…. (Dr. Jeremy Osborn) Examined the effect on marriages when people watched fictional romances on TV shows such as Two and a Half Men (CBS) and True Blood (HBO). “In this study I found that people who believe the unrealistic portrayals on TV are actually less committed to their spouses and think their alternatives to their spouses are relatively attractive,” Osborn said. “It turns out that people are warping their expectations with their real life partners because of what they are seeing on TV.” he added….

In a 2006 study published in the Journal Homosexuality … in the communication studies department at University of Minnesota, found that pro-homosexual sitcom Will and Grace impacted viewers attitudes toward gays and lesbians and homosexual relationships. The NBC show was popular on network television from 1998 to 2006.

The Schiappa study surveyed 245 undergraduate students to ascertain their attitudes towards homosexuals and the frequency with which they watched the sitcom. “The greater the viewing frequency of Will and Grace, the lower the level of sexual prejudice toward gay men.”…

For example, 71% of those who regularly viewed the program believed that homosexual relationships were “normal” like those of heterosexuals, while only 45% of non-viewers agreed…

This transformational power of television is undeniable. Chait noted when CINOP VICE-PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN endorsed same sex marriage in May 2012, he “cited WILL & GRACE as the single-most important driving force in transforming public opinion on the subject.

“In so doing,” Chait continued, “[BIDEN] actually confirmed the long-standing fear of conservatives - that a coterie of Hollywood elites had undertaken an invidious and utterly successful propaganda campaign and had transmuted the cultural majority into a minority… [temporarily]

But far too many believers embrace the lies of our spiritual enemy, rather than reprove them. What sort of Christian welcomes a false prophet into his living room… they have forsaken the laws of God and embraced idols, the Lord “will feed them, this people, with wormwood [a bitter plant] and give them poisoned water to drink” (Jeremiah 9:13-15) [Hollywood’s influence made possible the passage of s-s-marriage in 2012.]
