So, am I to think it's the battle of the brainwashing overlords?

Edward R. Morrow summary
"This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and even it can inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise, it's nothing but wires and lights in a box. There is a great and perhaps decisive battle to be fought against ignorance, intolerance and indifference. This weapon of television could be useful."

The full address in context:
https://www.rtdna.org/content/edward...n_a_box_speech
Politics/power has always been and forever will be a battle of brainwashing overlords. TV/media and 'scientific'
psychology being the current means of mass conditioning/manipulation. Both sides play this game. They can't help it ... it's who we are ... human beings ... DNA survival machines ...
