It's the same mentality as people who watch the "news" every night and then have no emotional connection when those fairytales / stories have to be corrected for being false. We've been conditioned and lulled to sleep mentally because it appeals to humans laziness. The lazier the person is physically the lazier they'll also be mentally. Keep them seated, not building muscle, hypnotized to flashing lights, absorbing whatever you tell them.... there's a reason it's always been known as the "idiot box" because that's what it is and it's what it makes/creates.
