"The means of... communication..., the irresistible output of the entertainment and
information industry carry with them prescribed attitudes and habits, certain intellectual
and emotional reactions which bind the consumers... to the producers and, through the
latter to the whole [social system]. The products indoctrinate and manipulate; they
promote a false consciousness which is immune against its falsehood... Thus emerges a
pattern of one-dimensional thought and behaviour." --Herbert Marcuse
