How's your lobotomy treating you?

Robert Kane Pappas’ Reflections on Orwell, 2005 – BuzzFlash

Robert Kane Pappas: The spin process is very effective, both in newspaper reports and on TV and in radio. If you make it your business to be informed, what happens is, you end up watching the mainstream news with your mouth hanging open. If you watch only what they offer, you’re largely intellectually lobotomized. Your opinions are determined by two- and three-word sound bites: “Death Tax,” “Conspiracy Theory,” “They hate our Freedoms,” “Democracy,” “Liberal Bias,” “Class Warfare.”
