Cable TV is also mainly producing electromagnetic radiation (light) in the end. And some acoustic waves as well to be honest. So Fox News & Co are really mind controlling you guys with EM radiation. No conspiracy needed.
I mean, sure.....but by that same logic, you could say the same thing about cartoon network or mtv or comedy central or any other cable tv network that has nothing to do with news/politics.
Sure, what are advertisements other than the attempt to brainwash people into buying some product or another.
Your friends are constantly spewing EM radiation at you. So is your home. The trees outside. The very sky. There's no escape. Even if you were to enclose yourself in a Faraday cage and exist in complete darkness, your own body would still be bathing your surroundings in EM radiation that bounces off the cage.
It's not the EM radiation part that's problematic, it's the brainwashing part. And my friends seldomly try to brainwash me, except maybe into living a healthier lifestyle and going out more.
Me, I am brainwashing myself all the time, by telling me how miserably I'm failing my life at one moment. And by telling me how awesome I am the moment after. Not sure if that's problematic or just normal.
