A professor once told me, "If your values and opinions can not stand up to the strength of opposing arguments or viewpoints you must re-educate yourself. Research the the road which brought you to your original viewpoint, ensure those opposing arguments are factual, and then start anew."
It's not brainwashing unless you don't research the facts. I'm very conservative myself, but much of what Rush/etc are factually incorrect. On the left, Air America, radio stations are pretty much equally incorrect.
We must have our political opinions forged in the crucible of open discussion and arguments, and refined in the truth.
