Tonight's Hollywood Hate Bush Event provides a good opportunity to point you to a great Michael Medved piece on why those offended by Hollywood's products need to do less complaining and more creating.
Actually, both complaining and creating are necessary. If conservatives wish to take action, the best start would be to stop consuming the products which display these harmful values. With the availability of excellent free entertainment content screening sites like Focus on the Family's Pluggedinonline.com and the meticulous Screenit.com, both of which have detailed descriptions of content in hundreds of films, anyone one who pays for a ticket to a movie that offends him has no excuse. Channel deletion and V-chip technology on TVs are also helpful, but there is still plenty of harmful content even if they are used. Many parents elect to refuse cable service altogether and entertain themselves and their children with select videos and DVDs. Some extremists even use books.
If you would like to tell media outlets why you have stopped consuming their pernicious products, you can use this Townhall.com link to send an e-mail or letter.
