TV is by far the worst exponent because it can convey emotion far more than an article of words and still pictures. Emotion is what carries the message home to people. It's literally like a little Trojan horse implanted into the brain as a way to appeal to people and have them remember things. I don't watch TV for this reason but anytime I do pass one, the effects of it seem like it's multiplied by 10 or 20. My now unconditioned brain notices the subtleties that daily viewers simply won't see anymore: the way they use open and closed questions; talking over people and not allowing responses or having audiences or panelists round on anyone speaking against the agreed narrative; the use of children in distress for maximum emotional appeal; the way they place one unrelated news story with a following story in a way that makes you, the viewer, fill in the blanks and pair these things together, subconsciously, yourself. Everyone should abstain from regular viewing. People may just as well attached harnesses or dog leads to themselves and be led around all day because that's what's happening, only inside their skulls.

I asked my grandfather about what inventions he saw that changed things a lot and he said the television. I can’t do it justice the way he said it but he just talked about how heavy the propaganda got. It changed things in a big way in that regard
