TV Helped Change the Country’s View of LGBT Life, as I wrote a few days ago, reporting a press release from the Paley Center for the Media. Revealing was the list of supporters of the center’s exhibit celebrating television’s contribution to “this journey and those whose pioneering work has reshaped the hearts and minds of the American public.” It included several movie and television companies (Paramount, 21st Century Fox, CBS, Disney/ABC, A+E, HBO, NBC, and Lionsgate) and several talent agencies, as well as AARP, ESPN, and the NHL Foundation.

What an organization dedicated to getting discounts for old people, a sports network, and the National Hockey League feel they have to gain from corporate sponsorship escapes me.

And as I said before, it would be useful for someone to review the history of the criticism of television’s attempts to reshape the hearts and minds of the American public, since the idea that many in television were doing just this was often scoffingly denied by people who knew exactly what they were doing.
