Manufacturing Consent by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky

Gay Production Magazine Among Nom Chomsky's movies, I learned a lot about the lives of democratic society. The movie is thinking in the three dimensions of a really right person, Norm Chomsky, or what he calls "elite". I concluded that Noam Chomsky was right. Because his statement is very persuasive. In other words, the media is dominated by the elite who decides what the people should know. How does Chomsky prove that it makes sense?

Left wisdom intellectuals Noam Chomsky and Edward S. Herman wrote a possible original book in a book named "Manufacturing Consensus" published in 1988. Among them, Chomsky and Herman argue that the theory that large-scale media organizations rely heavily on power and they are usually owned by large multinational corporations, so that they usually match the interests of companies I advocated. This should not be regarded as surprising or controversial. I will take NBC as an example. From 2004 to 2011, NBC was owned by General Electric (GE). In addition, GE has earned billions of dollars with a military contract with the US government. Another example is Washington Post, post owner Jeff Bezos (also CEO and founder of Amazon) signed a $ 600 million deal with the CIA. . Of course, considering this knowledge, GE, Bezos and other similar people will not hire people to fight.

Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky, in a 1988 book "Consent of Manufacturing Industry: Political Economy of Mass Media", in order to create a stable and profitable business, the American media system We propose a propaganda model to explain the bias.

Part of the propaganda model is self-censoring through corporate systems (see corporate review), in particular journalists and editors share or earn value that is consistent with the company's elite that promotes their career I will. People who are not marginalized or dismissed. These examples are dramatic movie based dramas such as "Good night", "Lucky", "Insider", which are featured in the documentary "CORPORATION". George Orwell originally wrote a preface to his 1945 new animal farm pointed out the self-censorship of the Soviet Union as an allied country during the war. Introduction Published in 1972
