"Manufactured Consent" Pt. 2

WHAT IS MANUFACTURED CONSENT?

Presenting an analysis its authors call the "propaganda model", the book argues that since mass media news outlets are now run by large corporations, they are under the same competitive pressures as other corporations. According to the book, the pressure to create a stable, profitable business invariably distorts the kinds of news items reported, as well as the manner and emphasis in which they are reported. This occurs not as a result of conscious design but simply as a consequence of market selection: those businesses who happen to favor profits over news quality survive, while those that present a more accurate picture of the world tend to become marginalized.

The great thing about Noam Chomsky is that he doesn't believe in "Conspiracy Theories" because the truth is right in front of you and as I say..that is harsh enough. He is also a well respected linguist and professor at MIT and has changed the way that we use language.
