If I gouge my eyes out and stab my eardrums with pencils... will I then not be an idiot brainwashed by the media? Or will I just envision and create media to brainwash others with?
Sounds like your average teenage gripefest.
Sorry to say that people, he is not that wrong and it is not all "angry-15years-old-boy-stuff".

It is true that the media affects us in different ways, Im 20 and I do have my own opinion on this, wich can be read in a post above. Dont judge just by the age , may I remember you of the nazi propaganda during WWII? If that was not brainwashing thru the media, well what was it than, also remember in those times TV/radio and other medias were still at their beginnings and since than 73 years had pass, dont tell me that they would not develop anything new in this time... .

If you believe that, than YOU are just an ignorant preteen person sorry to say it that way.

It's more so the fact that it's old news.

Propaganda brainwashes people. *SHOCK* *SHOCK* I wonder what the point of propaganda is.

And people are generally affected by the things they see and hear? *SHOCK* *SHOCK*.

The media is just a form of communication. If people open themselves up to what they see and hear (even subconsciously) then no s**t they're going to be affected. It's not rocket science. It's just redundant.
I do understand your point and respect it, i hope you see that ^^

The reason why Im defending this topic atm is that, people should allways question what they percept, regardless if it is old news, if it is old news for you, you could let him benefit from your
exprience, that would help a lot more than just call it average boy blathering. Dont you think?

@topic:
Sure politics are as old as mankind itself and nobody did ever reinvented the wheel if it comes to manipulation. They only tweak it now and than, but thats old news, yeah it is FOR us.

Im aware that there will allways be people who are not willing to change that, or do not care, or can not be reached, but dont you think, we should at least try?

The media wants money, doesn't the majority? Money is the root of all evil. I take my off-beat and non-conformist ways as a blessing, not as being abnormal. :]
I disagree. Money is not the root of all evil, ignorance is. And babies.

How are babies evil? If you're calling babies evil then anyone with children has to be evil too. I think selfishness is more damaging than ignorance.
