MOST FEEL MEDIA SET BAD MORAL EXAMPLE
[SOURCE: USAToday]
A new survey examining America's values and the influence of the media finds that 68%, including majorities of virtually every demographic group, say the media -- entertainment and news alike -- are having a detrimental effect on moral values in America. It's a finding that fits with the sponsor's mission: The Culture and Media Institute, based in Alexandria, Va., says its aim is to "preserve and help restore America's culture, character, traditional values, and morals against the assault of the liberal media elite." The National Cultural Values Survey is based on a survey of 2,000 adults. It finds the nation divided among: The "Orthodox" (31%), who are the most religiously observant people and overwhelmingly want government policies to reflect religious values; "Independents" (46%), who judge by situations rather than seeing moral issues in black and white; and "Progressives" (17%), who have a secular value system.
