>>>I think you would agree that there are a substantial number of people who are brainwashed by the mass media, right? <<<

No I wouldn't, I don't think so at all. In fact, quite the opposite. In today's media market people tend to choose media that reinforces existing views.

On the other hand, if what you were saying about brainwashing etc was not to counter what in answer to what I said, why did you answer it as if it were?
