I'd suggest that it's violence in non real media that makes more difference than the news. The news pails into insignificance to the amount of violence elsewhere.*
I'm always surprised by how little effect real world violence, both visually on the news and actually IRL, have on me. I've always assumed it's because I'm too a custom to having a dramatic sound track and plot line accompanying the events.
*that said I'm sure I've read that horror stories on the news have more impact on children's nervousness than scary stories or films.
