   @adiz @mischievoustomato @arcana @genmaicha think it depends on if you can process sensory inputs yourself.
   
   Some people definitely get their thought downloads from journos and proceed to feel and advertise in the talking points that were assigned in the segment.
   
   Some of them may actually disagree with it half the time. Or they're using the writers to an end.
   
   If you can read an article that's clearly trying to fear monger you and extrapolate that the supposed bad guy is actually a moron and you are quite safe, you are probably succeeding.

     I actually believe that genuine independent "free thought" is kinda a spook. There's no way to generate organic concepts within a vacuum. Everything informs our perception of the world, and our ideals and opinions are widely shaped by the ideas and opinions of others and our own experiences. You are (not) immune to propaganda. @arcana @mischievoustomato
