Shame on you NZ Herald

The NZ Herald ignores expert and focuses of a police officers opinion.

Yet again I am using this blog as a soap box to fight censorship, but I guess it is a good a place as any to try and stop it. Recently a New Zealand police officer Bill Harrison watched his kid play a computer game and decided that it was too violent and are a major cause of crime.

I know if you have been interested in games that this is getting out but there was one but of absolute crap reporting here, If you read the the whole story you will find three lines at the bottom that pretty much make when whole story invalid here they are:

But Auckland University psychologist Dr Ian Lambie said violent video games had no effect on most people.

"There is a subset of the population that is far more likely to be affected," he said.

"But we know that the problems are far more complex. It's learning issues, it's a whole range of other developmental problems."

Thats right the NZ Herald decided that is was much better news to say games are bad and offer the opinion of someone with no knowledge on how games effect children, as apposed to someone who has done research on Child and adolescent mental health and adolescent offending.
