    I don’t think mass media is brainwashing people, because I don’t think they’re making them adopt new beliefs.

    And where did those beliefs originate?

      Where does any belief originate?

      If you’re trying to allude to those beliefs coming from brainwashing. Then we are all brainwashed by our parents.

      But we generally call that “being raised”. And as you’re well aware, different people are raised differently.
