Despite all the evidence that spanking causes long term harm to children, conservatives in general and Fox News in particular seem to have a fondness for spanking, as I show in this video.

The clips I use of Fox News anchors Gregg Jarrett and Martha MacCallum come from a segment on the Fox News program «America’s Newsroom» broadcast April 12, 2010 (which I have not been able to find online).

The clips I use of Tulane University Prof. Catherine A. Taylor come from a segment on the CNN program «American Morning» broadcast April 13, 2010, available online at http://amfix.blogs.cnn.com/2010/04/13…

The image I use of James Dobson and his parenting advice come from the Focus on the Family webpage titled «To Spank or Not to Spank» at http://www.focusonthefamily.com/paren…

The image I use of the abstract of the April 2010 Pediatrics article titled «Mothers’ Spanking of 3-Year-Old Children and Subsequent Risk of Children’s Aggressive Behavior» comes from the webpage at http://pediatrics.aappublications.org…

And, finally, the image I use of the document titled «The Report on Physical Punishment in the United States: What Research Tells Us About Its Effects on Children» comes from the webpage at http://www.phoenixchildrens.com/PDFs/…
