According to recent Nielsen statistics, the average American watches four hours of television a day. In the average American home the TV is on seven hours and 40 minutes per day. Like it or not, we Americans are filling our minds with whatever we happen to watch on television:

Age 18, the average American child will have seen 20,000 violent acts on TV, including 16,000 murders.

In one year, the average American child will watch 20.000 commercials.

By age 65, the average American adult will have viewed 2,000,000 commercials on television.

Sixty-four percent of all television programs feature sexual content [most of it contrary to biblical values].

Seventy-one percent of prime time shows include such sexual content, as do 83 percent of programs watched by teenagers.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, “The average American adolescent will view nearly 14,000 sexual references per year [on television],” yet only one percent of an< these will deal with “birth control, self-control, abstinence or risk of pregnancy or STDs” ….

Makes you wonder if what we are watching as “entertainment” comes back to haunt us on the “News”.
