You don't think the very intent of television was ultimately to entrance and subdue the masses? To tell the public what to think and how to behave and conform to societal "norms"? And does that also mean you think the CIA was conducting mind control experiments using subliminal messages and light and sound frequencies for their own idle curiosity with no intent to ever use what they learned?
From a 1984 Congressional Hearing on subliminal technology: "Recently declassified materials document CIA interest in subliminal communication during the late 1950's. These documents suggest that government use of subliminal techniques could proliferate and yet remain undisclosed for national security reasons. Therefore, the extent and types of uses to which subliminal communication devices are being put may never be completely determined."
