Pediatricians re conveying this message, but the news media, but the news media and TV stations that broadcasts cartoons, kids shows should frequently come thro with messages to parents and children about watching these shows

exposure to violence on a regular basis only serves to de- violence only serves to desensitize an individual--there is no positive gain from ongoing viewing of violence--not only are tv programs and games responsible for this but the tv news for some obscure reason finds it necessary to focus the cameras on pools of blood etc after some shooting or other distasteful occurrence
