Why, Dr. Pierce, of course. The control of the opinion-molding media is nearly monolithic. All of the controlled media, television, radio, newspapers, magazines, books, motion pictures, speak with a single voice, each reinforcing the other. Despite the appearance of variety, there is no real dissent, no alternative source of facts or ideas accessible to the great mass of people which might allow them to form opinions at odds with those of the media masters. It is a view of the world designed by the media masters to suit their own ends, and the pressure to conform to that view is overwhelming.
People adapt their opinions to it, vote in accord with it, and shape their lives to fit it.

Dr. Pierce seems abysmally unaware of the Internet, short-wave radio, and the international press. Either that, or he means to insult us even further by insinuating that either we are too stupid to seek alternative sources, or that we are too stupid to understand them if we do find them. In short, according to Dr. Pierce and his Parrots, we are simply too stupid to form opinions by ourselves.
