Start Living Again – Here’s How You’re Being Brainwashed & How To Stop It
Brainwashed and Dried
You hear it over and over and over again – the “news” is brainwashing you. The world is full of evil corporations that are poisoning you, making you a zombie and on top of that, you are so numb and dumb from all of the overwhelming chaos, you just fall further into the rabbit hole of brainwashed chaos… and … you are the one who has to make that call, not anyone else… or else we’d be brainwashing you, and that’s not the purpose of this article.
Recently, we came across a pretty horrifying awesome article about the art of brainwashing and the art of controlling those you have thoroughly brainwashed. Focusing in on one of the world’s most…talked about… “information sources”, truth-out published a great article by Dr. Cynthia Boez entitled, “Fourteen Propaganda Techniques Fox ‘News’ Uses to Brainwash Americans“, which we showcase below.
Truth-Out states: There is nothing more sacred to the maintenance of democracy than a free press. Access to comprehensive, accurate and quality information is essential to the manifestation of Socratic citizenship – the society characterized by a civically engaged, well-informed and socially invested populace. Thus, to the degree that access to quality information is willfully or unintentionally obstructed, democracy itself is degraded.
It is ironic that in the era of 24-hour cable news networks and “reality” programming, the news-to-fluff ratio and overall veracity of information has declined precipitously. Take the fact Americans now spend on average about 50 hours a week using various forms of media, while at the same time cultural literacy levels hover just above the gutter. Not only does mainstream media now tolerate gross misrepresentations of fact and history by public figures (highlighted most recently by Sarah Palin’s ludicrous depiction of Paul Revere’s ride), but many media actually legitimize these displays. Pause for a moment and ask yourself what it means that the world’s largest, most profitable and most popular news channel passes off as fact every whim, impulse and outrageously incompetent analysis of its so-called reporters. How did we get here? Take the enormous amount of misinformation that is taken for truth by Fox audiences: the belief that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and that he was in on 9/11, the belief that climate change isn’t real and/or man-made, the belief that Barack Obama is Muslim and wasn’t born in the United States, the insistence that all Arabs are Muslim and all Muslims are terrorists, the inexplicable perceptions that immigrants are both too lazy to work and are about to steal your job. All of these claims are demonstrably false, yet Fox News viewers will maintain their veracity with incredible zeal. Why? Is it simply that we have lost our respect for knowledge?
