Media teach children to kill says psychologist critic
Lt Col David Grossman a West Point psychologist and former Green Beret argues media audiences, especially children exposed to TV and video games, are conditioned to accept violence. He links boot camp style messaging, persistent on 27 hours weekly preschool viewing, to rising youth violence culminating in Littleton. He likens media violence to nicotine, boosting tolerance and craving for higher doses.
