My mom lectured me on MTV to the point that I assumed they shows hardcore porn, and wondered why I never saw those shows when she was out of the house and I turned it on. For the most part, my dad didn't care and my mom banned whatever the news told her was evil. Marilyn Manson was unacceptable (not that I really liked his stuff anyway,) and after three kids killed someone "because Slayer told them to prove their loyalty to the band at a concert by going home and killing someone," that went, too.
The same trend applied to games. Doom was forbidden because it made the Columbine kids shoot up their school, but Quake and Unreal were fine.
