Words matter and this substitution is really good. Brainwashed can be seen as insulting to the person's intellect where manipulated can be seen as lied to and betrayed which is on the liar. I tell my dopey CNN-watching brother that he's being played.

True, but they've been manipulated to believe that.

Indeed, skillful use of terminology - to maximally deliver the red pill payload is crucial
Every thing we do here (meme warfare) revolves around human psychology

The CIA ran MSM is still in Brainwash mode.. MK Ultra in full force,, This will not change till those at the top of the 3 letter agencies fall !
The time will come eventually !
But the longer the Dems try to keep this fake investigation crap going, the more they are forcing their own constituants away. Let them destroy themselves !!!

As well as those at the top of the 3 and 3+ letter MSM outlets of the C_A; but go after the owners of the MSM, the CEOs of the big companies that own the MSMs.

Great idea. Manipulation allows change thorough choice and self control, brainwashing does not. WWG1WGA!

It doesn't imply fault with the person you are talking to. It lays the blame on some other actor, prompting them to find out (((who))). It also avoids directly insulting terms like gullible, mindless zombie, sheep, etc.

Yes - and liberals love to feel victimized (manipulated) as opposed to brainwashed (insinuates stupidity).
