Chomsky On Why A Transparent Media Is So Important

If you’ve any doubt why the issue of news bias and elite control are important, Chomsky sums it up in a few sentences in this second clip from, Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media (1992), by Canadian filmmakers, Mark Achbar and Peter Wintonick, which expands on the ideas of Chomsky’s earlier book, Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media, which he co-wrote with Edward S. Herman.
