Humans are brainwashed into thinking it's "Human nature" to be greedy and self-centered, so when someone comes offering help those stuck in this condition can't help but think "What's the catch?"

And the clearer it is that the person has good intent, the more dangerous the catch must be.

People aren't really "brainwashed" in the traditional sense, they seek license to confirm their biases that they think they benefit from. A good article on the subject is Masses, Elites, and Rebels: The Theory of "Brainwashing."

But the talking head on Fox told me what to think about socialism, using no facts or common sense.

What am I supposed to do? NOT believe them?
