"If it bleeds, it leads."

Will we ever stop blaming the media for our insatiable appetite for violence?

We seem to thrive on rage and killing. In our news and our entertainment, such as movies and video games.

Look how popular things like the UFC have become.  Cage fighting until someone gets knocked out or has to tap out due to serious injury.  I've seen a very little bit of it here and there, and it makes boxing look like ballet.

We are undoubtedly a highly violence-oriented society.  Just as the Romans were in the days of the Colosseum.

Blame seems unnecessary, but appetites are cultivated, influences disseminated. We are born into a violent loop that media can amplify, but methinks its roots lie deeper in evolution.

There is some argument for entertainment as a means to channel away violent impulses, to contain them in the realm of fantasy. Even bloodsports like the ufc allow thousands to focus that itch into two combatants and let them scratch each other.
