How do you know if you’ve been brainwashed or not into your beliefs? /u/NorthernLeap No such thing as stupid questions

I’m looking for honest answers here, there is a lot of media manipulation and our government (Canadian here) has put alot of money and funding into our media spheres, so how do you personally know your views, or beliefs haven’t been manipulated by the bombardment of the media ?

There has been a lot of research done on human psychology and it creeps me out sometimes, how control are we in terms of our views, really ?

I like to think of myself as a free thinker, but even I wonder sometimes. Thanks everyone 👀
