A controversial study out of Cornell that's back in the news thanks to Michael Savage. Still, it seems autism is likely multi-factorial and linking it to TV at an early age is just once piece of the puzzle...
Quoted: I speculated in Slate that the mounting incidence of childhood autism may be related to increased television viewing among the very young. The autism rise began around 1980, about the same time cable TV and VCRs became common and Nickelodeon, the first kids-oriented channel, launched.

Wow, it's amazing how much thought Michelle Obama had to put into every detail of this appearance on The View.
Quoted: Obama had approached the appearance, to quote Barbara Walters' on-air reading of the morning's New York Times, "with an eye toward softening her reputation." To this end, she did not do her hair in the Jackie Kennedy flip that André Leon Talley—the Vogue editor who Page Six alleges to be her style guru—pegs as central to her "image strategy."
