Blaming Hollywood is misleading at the very least as the problem isn’t limited to Hollywood. Rather, the problem is the media in general as it develops within us expectations of what is normal in all areas of our lives – relationships, work, fun, etc. Moreover, the distinction between Hollywood and the media is that Hollywood connotes film entertainment (television and movies) whereas the media is much broader and includes newspapers, talk radio, online content, etc.
Every year by the Three Weeks when I listen to talk radio instead of music I realize that what the ugly, filthy, hate-filled content on talk radio is just as bad if not worse than the other media that America consumes. The only difference is that somehow frum Jews like ourselves have been convinced that this is “kosher,” but this is certainly not the case. It is for us to realize that just as gazing at some goyishe beheimah in an un-tzniust outfit on a movie screen is tumah, so too is listening to and accepting the conclusions of any media outlet (conservative, liberal, etc.) because it too is at odds with Torah. We need to remember that everything has an affect upon our neshamas not only what we watch, but also what we listen to, and read, how we speak, act, and react, and all of this impacts how we connect to HaKadosh Baruch Hu.
