To control someone, you have to isolate them from outside influence. Just the other day I went to a sandwich shop. There were 17 people in the shop... a few couples. The one's who were waiting for their meal were on their phones. Those who were finished with their meals went straight for their phones. I watched them quietly stare at the glow of their screens. Although people were together under one roof, nobody was talking. I have rarely seen such a classic example of isolationism so plainly. It seemed as though each person was living in separate realities.

Anytime someone watches the news and they do so repeatedly, they become part of the news in that they absorb everything they see and everything they hear and it all begins to change the ways in which one "can" view themselves and the place in the world they occupy. Once this is done, the viewer is then influenced or controlled into believing that what they are seeing and what they are being told is true. If this happens often enough, you can make someone believe a banana is orange in color.
