It has been demonstrated that juvenile violence explodes eight years after the first TV station opens in a "market," and adult criminal violence goes through the roof 14 years "after TV." The sole exceptions are those newly vidioted jurisdictions that ban airing violence of any sort. While a mere 9,000 positive samples with no negatives are not "proof," they sure as Sheol establish the existence of a trend. You can pretty much sum the situation up by saying violence is contagious and TV is the vector. Stranger WEEEL – everything considered I would blame the media for Columbine.
