What an awful video. It's why I enjoy living in the UK with the BBC, and other sources of news like The Mirror and The i. Very little bias from the modern press, only really papers like The Sun or The Daily Star which are like that...
...but enough of that. Your point is correct. The only reason there would be any sort of shooting is if the person initially was messed up. Videogames have nothing to do with it; people just wish to find a scapegoat. TV shows are far more graphic, infact, but since you aren't actively DOING these things then it's OK? Did these crimes only occur 10 years ago, and beforehand there was no crime? Because if so, then fair play, there's a correlation. But that means nothing, in this case because it's not true. Videogames are not responsible for this crime, if any. |
What exactly do you have against the video? The anchor moderating doesn't make any claims. She says she watched some video of the game, didn't see anything graphic and asked general questions of the pundits about video games. The woman making all the claims isn't a Fox News employee and her views were countered by Geoff Keighley who does a very good job of setting the record straight. Then after the "experts" part of the report she talks casualy in studio and says several times that you have to read the rating on the box. But at that point it wasn't a report. It was a discussion between parents. They agreed that there shouldn't be censorship but are concerned about what video games they should give to their kids.
That Fox News report gets a lot of hate, but the truth is that Fox News didn't say anything negative about video games. Both sides were represented and the video game expert wiped the floor with the other.
I think too many people have too thin of skin when it comes to the topic of video games.

The thing which frustrates me is that no-one on the panel have neither played the game nor have any interest in gaming, they're providing false information as 'real' news and completely ignore what the actual guy who was talking sense was saying.
