One TV network MTV. That network has done more damage than anything else.
Started as a fun thing but turned into a Liberal organ pumping out smut and crap.

What three people do you think have had the worst influence on American culture?

Karl Marx

Yes, but their parents are the ones who did the damage.

How much time do you have? The list is long and not distinguished.

I think our fate was sealed on January 22, 1973. As it is now, repealing Roe v Wade would be a good and necessary first step to a long-term national survival plan:

but alas for him who did not fear Me! alas for him who never saw wickedness as folly and foolishness as madness! alas for the heart who believed that he could reach the zenith of his strength by his own efforts and without Me! alas for him who has not obeyed My Commandments! alas for him whose heart is filled with malice! alas for the jackal that plotted by night! alas for him who judged his brother and caused him to live in terror! alas for the lips that bore false-witness! alas for those who shed innocent blood of unborn infants! your compensation shall be hell!
Alas For Those Who Shed Innocent Blood Of Unborn Infants! March 20, 1991

It's not so much individuals as it is major institutions that have lost the culture for us. Multiple individuals from each institution have helped the cultural degradation. Also, we as individual conservatives (religious or otherwise) have not fought an effective battle against these institutions, nor have institutions that are dominated by us fought an effective fight.

Example: Hollywood: Producers, directors, actors, screenwriters all gave us the so called sex revolution, gays as a special group of people, the memes of business=evil US military=evil Christianity=stupid hypocrisy Conservatives=evil AND backwards.

Or the MSM: NYT, WaPost, ABCNBCCBS and so forth giving us the news they think is fit in a way to push the radical totalitarian leftist agenda.

Or the politicians: Ruining our country one law, one regulation, one press conference, one appointment, one theft, one crony, one scandal at a time.

Don't get me started on the GOP or churches, their (our) lack of capacity to hold the line, their (our) willingness to allow the leftists to destroy the culture, their (our) inability to formulate a message to combat the leftist degradation of all things.

Bill Clinton has probably damaged our culture the worst in recent memory. But before that, there was Cassius Clay, whose big mouth and self-aggrandizing gibberish destroyed the notion of tempering talent with humility, and Alfred Kinsey, an insect scientist whose fiction about human sexuality rewrote the social mores that had managed our most base desires.

But you also have to blame the Nietszchean Existentialists, the Fabians, the Hegelians, the Marxists, the Frankfurters, the Gramscians, the Alinskyites, the Wobblies ... It's an awfully big burden to put on one trio of men.

And let's not forget the "ladies": Steinem, Abzug, Friedan, Madonna, Gaga, et. al.. The frigid manhaters who expanded their own inadequacies into a social movement, and who legitimized ersatz prostitution as a career option for girls.

I’ve never thought of our cultural suicide in terms of certain individuals so much as movements and trends.

Television
Hollywood
public education

Political correctness
Multiculturalism
Humanism

Throw any number of individuals into those categories at any given time. It’s like musical chairs.

Bill Clinton, for sure.

The "race to the bottom" in network television standards in the Spring of 1993 was particularly breathtaking. The counterculture finally had one of "their guys" in power, and they couldn't wait to launch broadsides against social conservatism in every format possible.
