Actually it has been researched sufficiently for it to be considered to have the effect of desensitizing us to violence. It is not reasonable to believe media have no effect on us. Of course, the more impressionable are affected more than the less impressionable. It is clear to me that media have effects on us - many of which are negative. Violent media are a type of cultural programming that is best considered powerful and persuasive rather than discounted because one has a particular affection for it.

Note: I won't be responding to assertions that I have not made. I'll stand behind the things I've typed. At some point I won't pursue argumentation on the subject. I'm offering a suggestion that the potentially negative effects of media should not be discounted.
