I loved how one of the "studies" she cited was a public opinion poll on the motivations of the Columbine murderers.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. I'm sure the public knows all of the details and can render an accurate verdict in what motivated the columbine murders.
How can she say something like this and still be called in to be an expert witness on anything, at all.

Did anyone actually think she would back down? She's on FOX. No one on FOX is ever wrong. Thanks for the condescending reply that still doesn't prove your original point.
It should probably be noted that there are in fact two APAs. One of them (American Psychiatric Association) publishes the codex on mental disorders while the other (American Psychological Association) is essentially a paid club with fancy awards.Andy Chalk said:
I dont know what the fuss is about the most sexual scenes Ive seen in games is in the witcher, mass effect, gta 4. Are totally tame by film and tv standards, and you have little to no control over what goes on in them, and its really laughable to call them sex scenes, they make softcore latenight porn shows look like some banned XXX power of over 9000 ,smuggled out of some immoral hole of a town of a hedonistic godless world.
"When the Columbine murders took place, there were national polls where people voted on what they believed caused the two young men to kill. Media violence ranked high on the list, so I, obviously mistakenly, assumed that people still knew about the studies showing this connection - and believed them to have proven the link"
So if something bad happens, and people believe that it is (for example) videogames fault, it proves the study correct?
Ps. She were really condescenting.
Pps. She kinda took a low road, she wants the bloggers (etc.) to mention her sources, but she hadn't mentioned any sources that proves her wrong, like the studies from the Texas A&M international university. We show her sources, (and kinda bash on them,) but she dosen't show ours? (Not even to bash on them?)

It's hard to take middle class white americans like this seriously when numerous times in the past they've persecuted, well, fun.
Her studies are incorrect, they have been proved wrong several times, not only by other studies, but also by simple logic, and statistics, that show a decreasing amount of violence.
How come her studies are correct suddenly? Is it because, dat dem studies are on da teevee? Da teevee never lies...

This stupid ***** pretty much fits in well with the idiocy Faux Noise spreads so its really no surprise that she's taking the "block out incoming arguments and state she is fair and balanced" like they do.
it really is utterly sickening that there are so many idiots in America that follow that horse shit of a "news" channel.

If she's so freaking smart I want to see scholarly article by this lady. I want to see a "Works Cited" page, my 12 year old cousin knows this stuff already. Do doctors and specialists actually write peer-reviewed articles? If someone knows of any please send me some links.
But she cant troll! thats a term used by people that play games, and make memes, if she trolled people, she could easily become a rapist!Sarah Frazier said:
Your avatar mixed with that last line made me lol IRL so hard xDFrank_Sinatra_ said:
But yeah, this lady clearly has no idea what the hell she is talking about.
This "apology" reminds me of Jessi Slaughter and her "plea" for trolls to stop trolling; all it does is make things worse.
See? She has personal experience with the media turning people into rapists! All the proof she'll ever need.thewiseoldguy said:
Although shes as stupid as a troll thats freezing, you kinda took that out of contecst.Frank_Sinatra_ said:
She writes that she thought that people knew about some studies, because they thought it were the games fault that people killed people...
Ps. shes still wrong, and she dosent know what shes talking about.
Yeah, it does scare me that people listen to these morons. But the main point of my post was for us at the escapist to not lose faith in all of humanity EVERY time it happens.Sarah Frazier said:
I believe that some politicians bash on games, because it is an easy topic.
A politician can just say "games are bad, and they should be illegal," and BOOM he just got one thousand voters.

So she just "assumed" we'd know about all the studies supporting her point?
Is that anything like how we assumed she should've known that even more studies show the opposite, and that rape rates have been decreasing over the last ten years?
