Another interesting angle to this: I believe "mindshaping practices" can also refer to how the media not only tells people what to think, but also how to think[1]. People are arguably taught to engage in mind reading[2] via the manner in which politics and other topics (COVID being the most recent important example) are covered.

[1] "We 'know' X is true, because if you look at it in this way (and only this way - those other ways are just far right Russian conspiracy theories) it has the appearance of being True - thus, it 'is' True)".

[2] "This small subset of GroupA thinks/behaves in this way, thus all members of the group do the same."

There are easy ways to reveal (under a logical framework) how flawed this thinking is (replace GroupX with "The Jews", "The Blacks", etc and observe how cognition immediately changes, if it does not terminate in response), but they typically do not work.
