I think you have an excellent point regarding how the media ire has shifted from TV to games. I remember when I was younger, how all the same hand-wringing about weight gain and promoting violence used to be pinned on watching too much/the wrong kind of television -- the Power Rangers were a particular target, I think there was some case where a kid kicked someone in their class and said that it was something they saw on Power Rangers; shades of today's scapegoating of Grand Theft Auto?

Also, I agree with what you say regarding target audiences. Up above, justira expanded my hierarchy to include graphic novels (above TV) and animation (below), and I wonder how much of that is due to comics and cartoons being considered "kid stuff", like games, and therefore beneath notice. This could also help explain the common dismissal of YA books as not "real" literature.
