Does television brainwash people?

Question

Does television brainwash people?

Answer 1

All media does to people who are 'dull.'  People watch movies and think that the things done in movies can be done in real life. You assume that all people have brains.

Answer 2

Yes, Anything can brainwash a person. I have noticed if I am watching something I kind of change my state of mind to what I am watching. If I watch funny people I may feel fun. If I watch the shows that show the people who have died in the military & feel horrible. If I watch a movie filled with hope & all is well in the world I feel that way. We are always brainwashing ourselfs. The books we read, the people we are around. Everything brainwashs us. If we watch a political show everyday it will get us thinking it is true even though to someone else it is obviously not fair & balanced.

Answer 3

Television can influence some people. One of the reasons I no longer watch the news on TV is because it is biased. I swear the TV news could spin a story on a pedophile to make him look like the victim and the kid the antagonist.

Answer 4

yes it distracts them from what is going on around them
