News Hypocrisy (Score 1)

I find it very convenient that the news stations report on how 'violent video games' affect child behavior and ignore all the violence they show in their networks. When's the last time someone saw a piece of good news come off the news station? It's always either violent, depressing or downright bs. Then they have the audacity to blame violence in children on video games. I'm not saying that some children may be affected by video games, some aren't mature enough to handle a violent video game...what I'm saying is that I'm sick of the news stations constantly pointing the blame elsewhere and never taking the responsibility to look in the mirror themselves. Everyone has their own opinion about how video games affect children. Personally, I think video games are a form of release for most children now a days from all the pressures of school and life in general. I know when I was a kid that constantly hearing my parents yell " f you this" and "f you that" was more traumatizing than any video game could have imposed on me and I grew up with the Mortal Kombat series of games, some of the most violent video games ever released.
