Violence is down, so what is the FCC blaming on TV shows?

Avatar http://reason.com Posted by admin 526 days ago

Reason magazine editor-in-chief Nick Gillespie sums up the FCC's report on TV violence: "The research on the link between violent TV and behavior in children is not decisive ('many questions remain'), but because enough people complain about the 'problem' and in spite of an ever-increasing amount of viewer controls available to parents (the most simple being the on/off switch, of course), Congress should limit what can be on when (time channeling) and how entertainment providers offer up stuff to viewers. Because, you know, if we don't, violent juvenile crime rates among kids will plummet even more."
