Default [pbs] Reality Bytes: Eight Myths About Video Games Debunked
Quote:
A large gap exists between the public's perception of video games and what the research actually shows. The following is an attempt to separate fact from fiction.
Quote:
2. Scientific evidence links violent game play with youth aggression.
Claims like this are based on the work of researchers who represent one relatively narrow school of research, "media effects." This research includes some 300 studies of media violence. But most of those studies are inconclusive and many have been criticized on methodological grounds.

PBS is so much more different than Main Stream Media.

Hahaha completely agree with you. I am happy to see PBS supporting video games though, maybe this will get some parents interested in gaming (for them or their kids).

Bout time someone spoke the truth instead of regurgitating the ratings fueled media hysteria.

PBS and NPR are the awesomist!

Any time someone tries to say games are bad, I will just link them straight to this article, I mean has PBS ever been wrong about anything?
