They are not brainwashed to the same extent that the people of North Korea are brainwashed, but the majority of them do get all of their news from (State-owned) TV channels and uncritically subscribe to the ruling party's ideology.

Like Neocons in the US.

They're brainwashed to the same extent that many people in the US are brainwashed.

The wonderful thing about modern propaganda is that it has become so subtle we often mistake it for our own opinions.

As a European when I watched CNN for the first time at the early stages of the Iraq war, I first wasn't sure whether it was supposed to be satire or fiction. It took me a while to realise that this is what many people think of as "news" in the US. Makes me wonder what I miss in our own news media -- you only spot bold faced lies when you have a trusted reference you can compare them to.

It's not restricted to TV there it's all the same in internet.
