"The Movie Mom"
On the
Release of
Wolves in Sheep's
Clothing: A content Analysis of Children's Television
It was 45 years ago this May that my dad,
Newton Minow, the Kennedy Administration Chairman of the Federal
Communications Commission, told the National Association of
Broadcasters that television was a "vast wasteland." Today, he
says it is more like a toxic waste dump. This report documents
the crude, vulgar, disrespectful, and violent behavior children are
bombarded with when they turn on the television. I hope it
will help families make more careful choices."
