Television does not make children violent.
Television violence makes children passive.
Television is programmed to teach children to look to government authorities to keep law and order in their city or nation. A good example of these anti-people politics is the violation of people's rights by television police. And, somehow honest, law-abiding citizens are miraculously never hurt by these methods. The message we are getting is that government authority is never wrong. The desired image is of a paternalistic great society in which all law enforcement people are properly motivated and their opponents are always drug dealers, crazies, or un-American weirdos.
