Brainwashing This is committed everyday by the media.

When we say brainwashing, we don’t mean the hypnotizing people literally with the clock on the string swinging back and forth to make your victim believe what ever you want. We are talking about real life brainwashing, through the use of the media.

When we watch the 8 oh clock news, we see what is happening around the world. The media – the newspaper, the journalists, the writers, and the news reporters are literally where we rely to get all the information about what is happening around us. You might not think about it, but what if when they are reporting, they are not exactly telling the truth? Sure, they will always tell you the truth about floods, and earthquakes, and natural calamities and disasters like that, but will they always tell you the truth about bizarre events? Sometimes they won’t. There are many events which need ‘cover-ups‘ to not throw the country into panic. For example, an alien ship crashed down in flames. Their cover-up report might be something like “It was a shooting star”. Then we think “Oh that was just a shooting star.” That is one way the media brainwashes. Actually, sometimes many people know about these ‘cover-ups’ and discreetly leak the truth of the event via the internet.

Another way of brainwashing is through the use of what I like to call ‘selective news‘. All the news they report is true. But here is the catch : they only show the news to how they want you to understand them. For example, they are reporting about a popular politician who wants to become president. They will only report the good things this politician has done. That will give you the image that “This person is good”. Then when the times of election comes, most of the people vote for him. Why? Because that person has a good image due to the good news about him, even though if he has done alot of really bad things too. That is how selective media works.

So the next time you read any kind of news, try to look for the back story about it. What you see is not always what you get.
