Hollywood makes a hash of it
Those fine people at the ADL have polled Americans on religious values, anti-semitism, the meeja and all sorts. My favourite finding is this:
"There is an organized campaign by Hollywood and the national media to weaken the influence of religious values in this country".
Agree - 43%
Intriguing how the US has a rather more church / shul going public than these parts. It does not say much for the ability of the LA-based conspiracy as opposed to the one operating out of Shepherd's Bush, 'Fleet St' etc.
Elsewhere, the most poweful lobbies are reckoned to be Saudi oil (25%) and the US Pharmaceutical Association (24%), with the NRA mustering 11%, the tobacco boys 8% and AIPAC a feeble 4%.
