For example, Wikipedia can't convey the atrocities which are being committed in Syria as we speak. Videos can. Such a video may be the spark to convince her to pursue a path of providing humanitarian aid to war-torn countries. But such a motive won't come about if her information inflow is restricted to morally neutral content.
It's admittedly unlikely, but on the other hand, it's just one example. Everyone should be free to parent how they see fit, but it's probably important to spend time meditating on the full implications of taking actions that align with our own preconceived moral systems. Such actions often have unforeseen consequences, and it's so easy to convince ourselves that the good outweighs the bad when we really have no way of knowing.
