But the gist of it was 'videogames do harm and influence young minds'. Then they showed a clip of Byron talking about how parents are protective of their kids when outside the front door, so they should be when they're inside too. Which is hardly the same thing.

Now, based on everything Byron's said so far, I'd say they've deliberately twisted something there.
