Are cartoons to blame for our PL behavior?

I never saw the show. I saw road runner reruns. Saw a recent cartoon in the newspaper that showed Trump as the bird going tweet tweet and the coyote being CNN standing over the side of a cliff waiting for the fall and splatter. I was titty deprived as a kid, no internet, no R rated channels on cable either. Constantly watched except when I wanted to go play at the local swamp. I guess my parents weren't too worried about my brother and I tearing up the swamp or too concerned about the poisonous snakes, etc. mosquitos were really bad. I had a machete with me though.
