Is todays crimes influenced by what we see on TV? and Do you watch the news?

I don't want to believe the stories I hear on the news. I sit on my couch at the edge of my seat listening to the news every morning. Some people say that they stopped watching the news because there is always problems. But shouldn't we still be informed. Recently, there have been stories about bank robberies with bomb strapped hostages, women beaten, raped, tortured and now mocked. There have been times where I felt like I had seen that movie before ...except these aren't movies it real life news now. It is so scary ... has the world literally finally gone mad. Even the weatherman was picked up for trying to hook up with a 13 year old boy. See what I mean...it is all over the place. The killings in the schools theses days are killing off kids. What is going on with the youth these days? Is it movies we watch, is it that they really just snap one day ?
