I don't see how the media can be blamed every time people come up with some evil idea. "That student killed someone; it must have been because of tv." Why can't people see that it is more likely a much more complicated situation? These girls were doing this for power, something that a lot of people crave more then anything. I don’t think that the sadly deteriorating media had a lot to do with this. I do think that we shouldn't attack the media for humankind's need to acquire power and then taking it too far. If anything, I think that we should really take a look at our values and try to teach that power is more of a cause of evil then the latest movie or video game.
