Children (by definition) are not fully developed human beings. It should be obvious that care should be taken in their development, and that there should be some burden of responsibility on those creating things specifically targeted at children.
This is backed up by years of data. For instance, fast food ads aimed at children can have lifelong impacts on obesity and consumption habits: http://www.apa.org/topics/kids-media/food.aspx

You call this "quaint" if not "prehistoric". Yet you neither demonstrate that this view is old, nor explain why an old view is necessarily a wrong one.
The fact that, in 2018, much commercially-produced entertainment runs counter to Rogers' views says nothing about whether he was correct.

Fortunately these new modern children are jaded and hip to the game. Drop one in a prison and they'd take over the joint in no time.
Seems quaint, if not positively prehistoric.
