Mass Media Disgusts Me | Manufacturing Consent (Edward S. Herman & Noam Chomsky) BOOK REVIEW
Manage episode 394635177 series 2936123
Politics, violence & propaganda; what an awful mix.
'Manufacturing Consent' by Edward S. Herman & Noam Chomsky explains the propaganda model of communications, which explains why mass media shows an overall biased view. They describe the 5 mechanisms that lead to heavy filtering of information before going over examples from the Vietnam War to Latin America politics. It's a book that made me super angry, distressed, disgusted and depressed. Has really reinforced my philosophy against violence/coercion and also my detestation of politics/mass media.
Huge props to Deezlaughs for supporting the show, I really appreciate it!
