The mass manipulation has been around since the written word, but took off like wildfire with the advent of radio.

True. However, the percentage of sponges that soak it up whole without the ability to attempt to sort fact from fantasy has reached critical mass. They have dutifully swallowed their opiates in the form of trash and “talking heads” telling them what to think, what is “in” and who to like or dislike in order to escape having to think for themselves. What is astounding to me is how many times in history this has happened and it still happens over and over again.
