You should read the book called the corruption of reality by Schumacher.. the idea there is that human beings are evolved to enter a altered state of consciousness during ceremonies and rituals combined with action and music, usually drums.. that's why you hear reports of primitive tribes in the past entering a trance State and writhing on the floor.. Professor Schumacher theorized that humans are evolved to enter such a trance state in order to regularly suppress their fear of death..
As for why the news media became a brainwashing medium instead of a platform for distributing news, I think a lot of it has to do with the power of the internet to bring in Outsider opinions into the brains of normal people.. in order to counteract this power of the internet, the media has to increase their own propaganda rate, and likewise the rest of the establishment has to do the same
