On the other, I thought that the discussion had to do with whether mass culture was demand driven or driven by the producers. I was suggesting that although there was a potential demand, it is not clear that the cultural landscape would be so littered without the promotion of trash, and therefore, that the studios had more responsibility than Steven was willing to assign

Ah. You've added a dimension that I wasn't considering. I was looking solely at the decline in the standard of tastefulness of the product, which I think is mostly a function of what the producers think the public wants. You're talking about the ubiquity of the product--not just the decline in standards of good taste but the extent to which we are reminded of it.
