This is not true. Intellectuals are better equipped to filter propaganda out. As well, intellectuals are used to being fooled and admitting this to themselves and colleagues a lot, as this is often part of their everyday occupation.

Again. We're not discussing "being an intellectual". The OP clearly states "People who consider themselves intellectual".

Do you agree that many (most?) intellectuals consider themselves intellectuals?
