As the 1960s progressed, and members of the television industry became more and more disillusioned with the American people's lowbrow tastes, a solution presented itself to the television executives and creators: if they could merge lowbrow entertainment with political messaging, they could have the best of both worlds-ratings and propaganda power. It worked. Hollywood, with its god-like power, has succeeded far beyond its wildest dreams, shaping American's styles, tastes, politics, and even family structures." - Primetime Propaganda, by Ben Shapiro
