Evaluation Out Of Books Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media: The Companion Book to the Award-Winning Film

This book is brilliant! It is not a new book but it explains how the power forces of the Western World use sophisticated propaganda to influence our thinking. Noam Chomsky demonstrates why simple propaganda in Nazi Germany and Communist Russia ultimately failed but the more complex version used in the West is unfortunately very effective. This book predates Donald Trump and fake news but it illustrates the media world upon which he provides his misinformation.

If you want to understand how "democracy" works and why we don't have it in the US, READ THIS BOOK. "Government is the shadow cast on society by big business." - John Dewey

fascinating but difficult to read. Lots of material, I'll have to reread it as it's all spot-on.After a 2nd (attempt at a) reread, I'm annoyed.

Give it a shot, smarter people than I will get a lot out of

Outside the educated classes, which are not changed, I think the moral and intellectual level of public discourse and public understanding has risen very considerably. I don't doubt that for a moment. And that's encouraging. If you want to be discouraged you can think about the



This was an unusual book because it was an almost direct transcript of the documentary, this meant that the sections of text at times seemed quite disjointed because they weren't supported by video imagery in the same way that they would be when set as voice-overs to the film. Also, I imagine that the documentary would move faster than it takes to read the same text so the relevance of the words would become apparent quicker when watching the documentary. This meant that there were times when I

The Propaganda Model exposed. One of the most important ideas of the 20th century. This is the book of the documentary, not the more detailed exposition with the same title and written with Edward Herman. Read them both. This is the lighter, easier version.
