Television Programs Have No Effect on Us
A 1977 N Y Times essay argues TV violence does not mold behavior and that viewers may blame the daily grind for crime. The author notes Americans doubt TV’s power while praising ordinary workers glimpsed on screen but finds little link to real happiness or conduct.
