And the film based on his excellent book..... Manufacturing Consent...learn how you manipulated, by the STATE.... It explores the political life and ideas of Noam Chomsky, a linguist, intellectual, and political activist. Created by two Canadian filmmakers, Mark Achbar and Peter Wintonick, it expands on the ideas of Chomskys earlier book, Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media, which he co-wrote with Edward S. Herman. The thesis that corporate media, as profit-driven institutions, tend to serve and further the agendas of the interests of dominant, elite groups in the society. A centerpiece of the film is a long examination of the history of The New York Times coverage of the Indonesian occupation of East Timor, which Chomsky says exemplifies the medias unwillingness to criticize an ally of the elite. youtu.be/RO51ahW9JlE
