Being subject to every imaginable form of psychological manipulation has become the norm. Advertising has had a race to the bottom as far as ethics go. News media needs to gaslight its viewership in order to maintain its flimsy position as an authority. The once subtle undertone of propaganda in entertainment is far from subtle. I don't know the reason for why people rarely notice, but I suspect they just want to enjoy their shows. If they were to think too deeply about what their shows have become, it would be hard to enjoy them.
