NOTES: |
Manufacturing Consent explores the political life and times of the controversial author, linguist and radical philosopher, Noam Chomsky. As an outspoken critic of the press and one of America's leading dissidents, he has unrelentingly dissected how our much-acclaimed democratic freedoms often mask an irresponsible use of power. Shocking examples of media deception permeate Chomsky's critique of the forces at work behind the daily news. He encourages his listeners to extricate themselves from this "web of deceit" by undertaking a course of "intellectual self-defense." |
