1) A blind acritical acceptance of notions, models and narratives provided by mainstream mass media (television, newspapers, etc...) or by authorities promoted by them;
2) An irrational instinctive rejection of any idea and/or information that contradicts them, coupled with strong hostility against anyone who proposes such ideas/informations;
3) The promotion of such behavior as the "rational", "educated" or "modern" way of thinking.
