but I wouldn't entirely eliminate moral decline from deliberate psychological programming by those same big businesses via T.V. movies, games, and possibly even music, particularly over an extended period of time.

As the nation's big businesses have monopolized, and continuously conglomerated into ever fewer hands at least since the 1980s, programming whether by movies, T.V. games or music have fallen under their control as well.

T.V. movies, games and music can both become tools for shaping political, social attitudes and be in service to the owning corporate conglomerate's not just bottom line but preference for who should be in political power.

The very few times that I ever watched Howard Stern, he seemed to basically objectify women, that was the gist of his show, so did that program contribute to the nation's tolerance for the likes of *rump, and his blatant misogyny?

Now that *rump is in free fall with Epstein's disgraceful scandals coming home, Howard Stern has become less popular and they're canceling his show.

I do all of the above watch movies, T.V. game and listen to music but I try to always be aware of meta effects as well with the knowledge that corporate conglomerates are for the most part running it.

Thanks for the thread Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin
