If there were any evidence of a correlation between violent entertainment and actual violence, or that all "violent entertainment" was somehow being created by "powerful people" with some organized agenda, you might at least have a rational premise upon which to base this conspiracy theory.
Human societies have been violent, and their entertainment has been violent, since the dawn of language. If anything, there's far less violence in modern entertainment... there just happens to also be more of everything as well.
