I lived overseas during the 1980s and saw the embarrassing offerings that American television provided to the world. All those night time soap operas led people to believe American women were like Joan Collins.
It has only gotten worse since the advent of cable and satellite pump out pornography, and the internet provides the same.
It is the Leftists and their Hollywood funders who have advocated for this; there was a time when our traditional classical liberal values were admired even in the Muslim world. Polls taken in the 1950s gave evidence of this. We were admired, not hated.
And why were these particular shows on TV in your host country? Because that's what the local market wanted!. Hollywood doesn't send out ninjas to force foreign countries to do their bidding unless it's an RIAA case.
