As I type, I watch Glenn Beck rant on about politics, oil and GTAIV with the author of Grand Theft Childhood which is a nonbiased look at violence in videogames and its affects on children and teenagers. I'll be honest, I read a bit of the book and found it very informative and well written which for me is very important. During the interview, the author kicks the crap out of Glenn. She even uses an example from the book saying most teens at first had no idea that there were prostitutes in the original GTAIII. She mentions that it is not a factor in widespread violence in shooting in the novel. In fact, I'll advertise for this book: Read the Grand Theft Childhood by Larry Kutner and Cheryl K. Olson.

Anyways, back to the rant. Obviously the interview is over faster than it should be seeing that Glenn is like O'Reilly and they must have it their way. I'm not saying that we should never trust the news, that's why I wrote that a while ago in many other entries.

Another thing, if you want to learn more about these issues, go to WWW.GAMEPOLITICS.COM and get educated. Another thing, don't listen to Glenn Beck when he says that game bloggers are scum (that's what I heard), I read a couple of his blogs and he cannot write for peanut butter. Similar to WWW.DEADSPIN.COM game blogs can be very well written while proffesional journalists have problems writing even the most basic of opinions in a well constructed manner. I'm not saying that casual blogs are great themselves but there are gems out there and they should be read, comedic or informative. It is very important to hear the voice of many so that an opinion can be made. What do you mean I preach too much!? Fine I'll stop. Just hear me out, if a person does not take into account the well constructive opinion of others, there is not point to hear even that person out; because at least we have the ability to understand that others have voices to be heard. At least some of us (piss off fanboys and politicians)
