Report urges US government to curb television violence

The American media regulator FCC has published a report suggesting ways in which the US congress could craft a law against (excessive) violence on television.

Psychological research suggests that children who watch violent TV material become more aggressive and less sensitive to other people's pain. What about adults?

The new report, which is of interest to American broadcasting corporations and production companies, suggests ways to curb television violence -- ways in which the first amendment ("free speech", thus far used to defend media companies) won't be violated.
