WASHINGTON (AP) - Big media companies that include graphic violence in their programs are more concerned about short-term profits than the long-term health of children, and government should intervene, a senator said Tuesday.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., said he will push legislation in the coming weeks to limit violent content in the media.
"I fear that graphic violent programming has become so pervasive and has been shown to be so harmful, we are left with no choice but to have the government step in," Rockefeller said at a meeting of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee.
