About this product

Product Information

In this pathbreaking work, Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky show that, contrary to the usual image of the news media as cantankerous, obstinate, and ubiquitous in their search for truth and defense of justice, in their actual practice they defend the economic, social, and political agendas of the privileged groups that dominate domestic society, the state, and the global order. Based on a series of case studies--including the media's dichotomous treatment of "worthy" versus "unworthy" victims, "legitimizing" and "meaningless" Third World elections, and devastating critiques of media coverage of the U.S. wars against Indochina--Herman and Chomsky draw on decades of criticism and research to propose a Propaganda Model to explain the media's behavior and performance. Their new introduction updates the Propaganda Model and the earlier case studies, and it discusses several other applications. These include the manner in which the media covered the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement and subsequent Mexican financial meltdown of 1994-1995, the media's handling of the protests against the World Trade Organization, World Bank, and International Monetary Fund in 1999 and 2000, and the media's treatment of the chemical industry and its regulation. What emerges from this work is a powerful assessment of how propagandistic the U.S. mass media are, how they systematically fail to live up to their self-image as providers of the kind of information that people need to make sense of the world, and how we can understand their function in a radically new way.

    Revelatory Book

    This book shows how several news media handle the dissemination of news, how the news is fed to the media, and who owns what media. This is for a couple older things periods but very informative. The book also encourages one to know their unvarnished history to be able to ask the appropriate questions.

    Manufacturing Consent by Edward S. Herman, Noam Chomsky

    A seminal work on Walter Lippman’s notorious observation: the media and its relationship to governmental control, Manufacturing Consent analyzes the method of manipulating public opinion to suit governmental and plutocratic ends. Governments widely perceived as democratic do not have the blunt instruments of totalitarian regimes to compel the compliance of their populace. By feigning democratic discourse and the illusion of presenting issues in a manner that allows for informed decisions; however, Manufacturing Consent accomplishes the same ends. A well-footnoted narrative of case studies and analysis, this work illustrates how disturbingly effective the firm grip this process has on the American public.

    Extremely informative and well written

    Chomsky exposes the links between Media and Corporations that shows the bias that exist in the media. Chomsky explains Manufacturing Consent as the means of convincing the masses of the corporations own agenda as if it were theirs. This book really opens your eyes to what we as the public are forced to believe everyday.
