Just a poll.. About brainwashing and propaganda directed at the people of the US by their government and media.
But the again, if you were brainwashed you probably wouldn't know it.
PS. choose the party who's politics you are closest to if independent or belong to another party.
I'd say the media can be brainwashing at times. Its capitalism and sensationalism. People are simple and want to be entertained, they aren't entertained by boring politics or simple facts. They are more likely to watch news that has been spun to highlight a conflicting story.
To me the most disturbing method used by the media and government is by instilling fear. Every week you can find the latest food that's bad for you or some household product that may have a catastrophic failure. The government uses this to a smaller degree but the effects are reverberated throughout the media community.
