Do you believe media or the government adds secret mind-controlling technology to television

Do ................................................................... 15%
Do not ............................................................. 70%
Not sure .......................................................... 15%

PPP’s latest national poll finds the American public differing along party
lines on many conspiracy theories involving issues like global warming and the Iraq War,
although some of the more bizarre ideas merit bipartisan skepticism.

The poll finds 28% of voters believe that a secretive power elite with a globalist agenda is
conspiring to eventually rule the world through an authoritarian world government, or
New World Order. 34% of Republicans and 35% of independents believe in the New
World Order threat compared to just 15% of Democrats.

44% of voters believe the Bush administration intentionally misled the public about
weapons of mass destruction to promote the Iraq War, while 45% disagree. 72% of
Democrats believed the statement while 73% of Republicans did not. 22% of Democrats,
33% of Republicans and 28% of independents believe Saddam Hussein was involved in
the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Just 6% of voters think Osama bin Laden is still alive.

That would need to assume such technology is in use.

TV exists to make money, and therefore it is not subtly geared toward making people want to buy things. The methods are primarily by making people feel like they need every product available to feel ok, sexy, clean, whatever.

It turns citizens into consumers.

That's a good thing for anyone who doesn't want people thinking for themselves.
