Solid Science About the Effects of TV

After reading this book, you'll have solid proof that television actually molds human behavior. The irresponsible mantra by the Hollywood elite that their movies simply reflect life, and are in no way responsible for violence in our society, is roundly disproven with solid, scientific evidence.

This is a must read for anyone who wants to decrease violence and racism in our world.
