I think you just demonstrated evidence of said 'damage'; with your post. Not watching, reading, or attending does not indicate anything so much as an inability to cope with information that contradicts your beliefs. Cognitive dissonance can be painful.

And of course your assumptive confining of my viewing to only 'network news' or librul movies is what someone with impaired critical thinking skills does.

You throw around the word 'brainwashed' a lot. Continual projection is yet more evidence of 'damage'.
