Television is pretty much a dictator's wet dream. It is the most fantastic mass brainwashing tool that has ever existed. On top of that, we've even been duped into paying for our own brainwashing with our hard earned wages. If you control the primary sources of what the people see and hear ( TV, movies, netflix, radio, newspapers ), you control their thoughts.
Gotta love steemit, I don't see these posts anywhere else! Good job @careywedler
