People keep saying that (shortly after becoming parents), and yet the kids keep turning out alright.

I grew up like that and boy did it ruin my life! Living on a farm 10 miles from the nearest road, playing concerts, traveling, and working remotely to finance it all. It's a shame I was so wrapped up in my books and computers and video games as a kid because I could have led a normal life in a cubicle like everyone else.

I have to agree heavily and with your previous parent comment. Bad media, content, entertainment, recreational activities does not produce bad children.

I'm not completely certain but I'm fairly positive having your child interact with the bad people or hanging around the wrong types of friends (etc) far trumps any "bad forms of media".
