I was raised in a countercultural family and have been aware of various advertising and marketing ploys since I was a pre-teen. I never watch commercials (didn't even own a TV for most of my adult life) and I do my best to be careful about what I allow into my consciousness.

they're not controlling mine. advertising is certainly trying its best to do so. but academia? is this an outburst of anti-intellectualism? are you aware that anti-intellectualism makes advertising's job a hell of a lot easier? touting an opinion piece in which the author apparently misunderstands what is being reviewed IS false news.

That's an opinion piece. It's not like it's a peer reviewed study.

It will happen only to the degree that YOU allow it to happen.
