You're seeing and reacting to the quotes that were cherry-picked to drive home her narrative. It is literally the definition of yellow journalism.

Welp, I appreciate your comments here - I'm reading the article with a more narrowed pair of eyes now.

Kids are always in moral peril, boys are always entirely too sexually charged, girls are always entirely too lacking in confidence, media is always to blame and no one is ever thinking of the children

Shit changed ridiculously for kids growing up the minute Best Buy had modems for sale. But you can't write a book about children and their interactions with technology without having a clue or two. Wander around interviewing kids to spook their parents? You can change culture without having to justify a thing.
