I tend to disagree. While it has historically been true(and still holds on a micro level), mass, repetitive exposure to ideas tends to make people co-opt those ideas as their own. The crowd is easily swayed by FUD, the 'four F's'(fight, flight, food, reproduction) and repetition. These triggers have been proven to get eyes on content, sell product and sway opinion. Hence, this is what I see when I do get a glimpse of current popular media. Bad programming, IMO.
