I agree that it is likely that media saturation has made these incidents appear to be more common in recent times where the statistics likely don't support that. 

While the "family values" comment is funny, I suspect one could construct an equally compelling argument faulting a rather permissive post-1960's culture. 

In the case of the wrestler and if low-hormone psychosis proves to be a problem, I see the casual acceptance of steroid use among segments of our society to be essentially a values problem.  I wouldn't use them and didn't even consider it during my athletic days in high school and college (and I had some athletic scholarship offers).   Others clearly weren't raised with the same sense of right and wrong. 

That kind of values offset doesn't seem to be owned by either political party, and hence I don't see it as a specifically political problem.  There is a general lack of decency and honor in our society today . . .  Even the relentless media coverage of these incidents (details beyond all necessity) reflects a lack of priorities.  I'm choosing to tune out most of the coverage from this point forward.
