Actually, media does play a huge role in our lives, if we let it. Most people do. (Watch a weekday night sitcom and then go to a toystore and see how the parents treat their kids.) But when it comes to violence, the only thing the media is guilty of is desensitizing us to it. Aside from that, it's still the person who commited the violent act who is truely to blame. He/she had a choice to do no harm or to do hurt; he/she chose to do harm and the tv did not make him/her do it.
