Media is free to sell influence as long as they disclose and are not breaking laws, because then a big part of the responsibility falls on the viewers and listeners to discern good content from bad content.
Hitler's genocide was perfectly legal too. Doesn't make it morally acceptable. This is a bit blaming the victim, but viewers do have some responsibility too.
To summarize this, the people who get the most "programmed" are the ones who are most likely to be fans of whatever content they consume.
I agree, but are those people even capable of realizing they're being lied to if they're so deeply entrenched? There's about 25%-35% of Americans that will believe literally anything the TV tells them. I'd rather blame the pied piper than the children who follow the pied piper.

but also the social circles people have.
I can agree with that, that's a good point.
