I've blogged on this subject before- first, this lump of drivel by noted Star Tribune drivel fan Katharine Kersten. And now, NPR weighing in with this RAND Study on mixing teens, sex and television.
Happily, NPR produces a fairly balanced piece- pointing out that detractors of the study rightly point out that adults (gasp, PARENTS!) can have an equally, if not more important effect on teens and their sexual behavior. But again, why give this study the time of day unless you're going to point out the obvious: if you let your television parent your children, then yeah, they're going to learn their lessons about life from television. Not having kids, I can just hope that I can do better than a television.
