I think that was possibly the case in the days of print newspapers. But I'm not sure I can blame individuals that are targeted all day every day by global corporations messaging them.
They are getting brainwashed by Twitter, Facebook, "News" websites, Televisions.
Billions are being spent every day to mould your thoughts to their desires.
How does a single individual fight that?
It's like saying "Jesus and personal responsibility" will save you from your heroin addiction.
