What is the name of the SF short story from the 1950's about a children's TV show host indoctrinating the children watching? I think it was a parody of "The Howdy Doody Show". The idea was that this host character could manipulate the minds of the children without adults knowing it. It would seem like something Philip K. Dick or Kurt Vonnegut would have written.

The Advent on Channel 12 by CM Kornbluth? (Poopy the Panda's advertisers decide it's a good idea to have him order children to obey him and buy his stuff, and the kids' belief makes him an actual god.)
