Editorial Reviews: Product Description Politics. Social Criticism. "There's no doubt that one of the major issues of twentieth century history, surely in the US, is corporate propaganda. . . Its goal from the beginning, perfectly openly and consciously, was to 'control the public mind,' as they put it. The reason was that the public mind was seen as the greatest threat to corporations"--Noam Chomsky, from the CD. This is the latest in the audio series bringing Chomsky's finest lectures to compact disc. This lecture, and the question-and-answer session that follows, provide and introduction to (and synthesis of) Chomsky's key thinking on the media and propaganda, and their pivotal role in the relentless class struggle being waged daily.

Customer Reviews: Read 4 more reviews... Chomsky nails it again! July 8, 2008 This is the kind of concise brilliance you can expect from Chomsky on the topic of propaganda: In Manufacturing Consent, co-authored with Edward Herman, Chomsky proposed a model of the mass media that moulds this consent with bias and omission. "Propaganda is to democracy what violence is to totalitarianism," they wrote. While some see the "propaganda model" as reducing everyone to dupes or liars, others have dismissed it as conspiracy theory. "It's exactly the opposite - it's free-market theory," says Chomsky. "The media are major corporations. They sell a product (readers or viewers) to a market (advertisers). If a Martian were looking at this system, what would he expect? That the media product would be shaped by the perspectives and interests of the sellers and buyers and the external conditions (the state). You'd expect no interaction at all. It's no more a conspiracy than that General Motors tries to make a profit." [...] Title sounds like what he wants to do March 10, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful I may agree a little with his basic point but he VASTLY overstates the issue. I could write for an hour listing cases where the press challenged the status quo in government, business ,etc. He is just not happy because it is not a 24 hour a day propaganda machine for the left. They sometimes have to, for example, challenge corrupt liberals (like the govenor of Illinois and the mayor of Detroit) in the name of the truth. I feel ripped off September 8, 2007 0 out of 3 found this review helpful I was disappointed (to say the least) with this product. Audio was awful (re-recorded radio shows I think) too low to hear but when I'd turn it up, he'd start "yelling". The "chapters" were organized in some fashion but it wasn't logical. The material was repeated from one "show" to another. I made a bad choice. Jay Lord of the Flies & 1984 revisited February 24, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful If you weren't thoroughly disgusted, disillusioned and demoralized by living in the United States, this ought to push you over the edge. The best Chomsky lecture on CD December 7, 2006 3 out of 3 found this review helpful I think I own all of the Chomsky lectures available on CD, and this is by far my favorite. Something about the topic or perhaps the audience he is speaking to results in this lecture being very easy to listen to. Noam starts his discussion off with some basics and cogently builds a tremendously infomative story of labor, public relations/propaganda, control of the masses, government in practice and theory, etc. Even though I've owned this CD for years, I am still learning from it. Truly bottled genius. This is Chomsky seeing the world clearly, and sharing his insight compellingly. If you happen to be new to Chomsky, this is a great place to start.
