How many kids watch the news None! ..(this was a stupid idea). What were they (nbc) trying to do brainwash kids! NBC!
Sorry, what’s this have to do exactly with “Aging”?? Maybe should post this topic on a “TV Forum” or something?
I didn't give one lick about news when I was little, but that's just me. As an adult, if I'm letting my kids watch kid-friendly news, I'm definitely not letting them get it from MSNBC. That's the kind of thing I'd have to sit and watch with them, to make sure it's really as "for kids" as they say.
SnR is correct I remember a News show when I was young however, it was geared towards facts of science and animals and maybe a few current event facts. I haven't seen the show you're talking about, but I can bet if it's produced by any of the major news media, especially MSNBC, it's tilted and opinionated. It's not really news, even if it is factual information it will be selective facts omitting any news that doesn't fit their narrative.
Yes, I would consider it brainwashing or indoctrination.
While Kmoshea is right, and this post should probably be either under "Thoughts" or "Observations", rather than "Aging", I don't think even half the members of this website care.
I agree with you that there is no purpose for making news for children, because children, in general, do not tend to care.
I disagree about children not caring, when I was in primary school there was a show called “Newsround” which was a simplified child friendly version of the news and it was pretty popular. It had less focus on the economy and more on science and animals but they kept the main news of the day in there, children can be interested in current events if it’s presented to them in a way they understand.
