Much Ado About Nothing

The Much Ado About Nothing article is from Psychological Bulletin and is really rooted in the scientific method and many difficult to understand points.  However, I also found the parts I could understand to be very informative about why the authors believe that many of the studies that have been done over the topic of video game violence and the effects on children are inconclusive.  They mention things like the bias of the public, to politics, and even large corporations paying to have studies done that can display the finding in a certain light to make them look however they want them to look.  Despite it being difficult to read at times and maybe a little dry, I believe that this article is probably the most unbiased source that I have come across while researching.
