TV Shows - what message does it teach our Children

When I was growing up in the 50's, early 60's in eastern N. C. we were not exposed to the constant sex, violence, lies and hatred that children are seeing today 24-7. Even on TV the shows had good clean programs. I'm glad we didn't have video games where you go around killing everyone for hours at a time. Today's newspaper headlines are filled with violence committed by people. We are reaping the violence we've sown. Today, TV has no positive impact on our Children. Their message is always a negative trait.
