They were silent in their condemnation, or in the underlying motivation for the incident, though they mentioned the incident here, here, and there.

The press is the single most evil institution that has ever existed in the history of man

You've missed the point. The media can still print about events, but it's about how they frame the events. That's what manufacturing consent is. Omission, inclusion, etc. all affect perception.

This a good book?

>>16494644
It's pretty clear that in addition to corporations people like Noam Chomsky(academics) do a lot of manufacturing consent themselves.

One small press reports, another highly circulated lets it go to the back pages one day, wording it carefully.
Wikileaks however is delegitimized as somehow not a news source. It’s editor and founder tortured for years for publishing what others have.
The murderers of those people, including journalists, in Iraq are still unidentified.

How many times have you seen the Pilger documentary about the coming war with China?

Hello NSA

The concept seems to have relatives too.
Have you seen those academics who say they’re an “expert on political extremism” or “expert on the far-right”? It’s just political activists manufacturing legitimacy to attack people they don’t like

Your thoughts on Pol Pot? Lenin?

>>16495174
I can't hate them, they make sure I don't have too much money. Money is the root of all evil after all, and isn't avoiding evil the highest virtue?

>>16495247
You are very wise anon

>>16494982
Yes, it's slimy and Chomsky does some consent manufacturing himself but it does have the right of it.

>>16495246
The more I see the more convinced I become that Pol Pot was right. Hang the academics, autarkic agrarianism now.

youre incredibly stupid op

behind Hegel and the Hegelians, who were operatives of satan

Except this applies to all communication. It's shallowdeep. It's ostensible profundity is undermined by his childish politics. Language, symbols, et al always and necessarily obfuscate the truth they attempt to correspond to. It's a feature of finite, mediated systems like languages. You could argue that the application of these notions to politics and press in an erudite fashion is important, I guess (though his conclusions are certainly faulty). This has been implicitly understood for a long time. It's Info-Wars level insight anon.

What are you, some kinda Koch brother shill?

At least I can spell "academics", dipshit.

This book cries out for a contemporary update for the digital media space.
I mean, look what happens whenever someone with forbidden views is deplatformed. Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and the rest all revoke their profiles almost simultaneously. It's as if there is some central committee between the CEOs of these companies that votes on what to do about the internet. There almost is some secretive group between all these companies leaderships so that they can create they can divide power up between each other.

>>16495006
Yeah I read Hegemony or survival and was like yeah you’re participating in this propaganda just as much as anyone else. Bernays legacy still prevails

Did Dairy Queen do something to move down the list because I usually have them in my top five.

>>16495010
fucking wikileaks and snowden are the only two heroes any american should have in the modern age. Contemporary heroes that are still alive(?) that is

I maxed out my punch-card for a free Blizzard.

>>16495912
Heh, yeah, I have a thesaurus too

>>16495006
Chkmsky actually mentions that when talking about the build up to America entering WW1 if I remember correctly. I could be mixing two things up but I remember him mentioning this, basically.

>>16496599

>>16496008
no, obviously the press is evil, it's just funny that chomsky does this. he's full of the same shit as them.

>>16494644
If I read Jacques Ellul's Propaganda already is there any reason to read Chomskyhonk's book?

>>16498397
I don't know. He quotes him in it.
