Are we all being brain-washed by the media?

Answer 1

Is water wet? The media thrives on the gullible public.

Answer 2

Of course your being brainwashed if you believe everything the media says. That goes for radio also our children our being brainwashed and grown ups because they are listening to all the rap most of it is garbage but they believe everything they hear and see. The media only puts out what they want you to know. In other countries they most likely no more news about our country than us. We need a revolution just like in V for Vendetta I'm dead serious the revolution will not be televised POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!

Answer 3

yes. the American public is not getting the truth from our government censored media. it is all hacked up and put together to make the story sound not as bad. The government keeps things from us alot. they may think that they are protecting us poor little things. It is ridiculous. Most people believe the BS on the news and other reports. This is the result of years and years of being told that we can trust the media.

Answer 4

Yes, but about 35-40% believe the modern media. You know who you are! Almost 1/2 of you reading this believe Fox, CNN, MSNBC, 6:00 news, White House Press Briefings.

We have never been mislead or lied to this extent!

I really don't understand why some people CHOOSE to remain blind to the truth. It is harming us all!

Answer 5

Media makes money from advertising. Big corporations advertise in the media. The media disseminates information that conforms to the interests of it's corporate customers.

The government supports the above because governments make money from big corporations.

Get the drift?

Answer 6

Yes

For instance look at how the negative cultural influences of society flood the media and promote violence, drugs, and lust, you can't even watch a tooth paste commercial without seeing scantily clad women, look at how the youth imitate the entertainers they see on TV, and learn a world of negative habits, and end up in penitentiaries and early graves.

The Bible says evil communications corrupt good manners(Corinthians 15 33)

Not only are we being brain washed we are being corrupted by who the Bible calls the "Prince of the air" or ruler of our surroundings(the prime influence of what we see and hear) The Devil.

Answer 7

No, I routinely watch the news and think
"what a load of crap"
and "didn't they think that this was possible?"
and "did they ever wonder that maybe they got the cause and effect mixed up?"
and "is this even newsworthy? Do we really need 24-hour coverage of one missing girl in aruba when there's so much other stuff happening?"

So no, I'd say I'm not brainwashed, but so will everyone else, whether it's true or not.

Answer 8

Well, the media is controlled by the governments and the governments want us to see what they would to get all the political benefit. The trick is to use your mind and verify the facts before you believe them.

Answer 9

Especially when they relentlessly pursue their agenda and and eschew Any facts that don't fit their Way of thinking. definitely being manipulated which turns into brain washing. Don't just suck it up ask questions.

Answer 10

Ignore much of the media now. I realized how gullible I was when i was little. I bought a box of cereal just because it said "I'm coco for coco puffs!". When i ate it, I felt nauseous.
