Contrary, you have a lot of chances to visit hundreds of internet webpage which is more independent than TV.
Instead, the decision what information you rely on and judge its correctness is attributable to each individual, I think. It's much better than TV. |
Hello!
With TV, the way of getting information is indeed passive and can be brain-washing in countries where the government is controlling the press.
Of course, even where press is free one can still get influenced in one way or another, but that is up to yourself. You can, e.g. watch the news bulletins on different channels (and of different countries) and formulate your opinion afterwards.
I have the habit of doing that and for additionial information I turn to the internet, and I don't feel like someone is brain-washing me.
