Aww, shucks. Welcome and thankya. Means a lot!
Ah, yeah. I've a compsec background so I've always been fascinated by how information flows through the world and when I discovered the concept of manufacturing consent it was like a lightbulb going off. Still haven't read the whole book.๐ But knowing about it and watching the Bolivian coup happen in realtime and how our media and politicians responded to it was a big eye opener for me. And yet! For a hot minute i was still naive enough to think they were gonna do the right thing for Covid.๐คฆโโ๏ธ
I used to love Chomsky, but I think he's really boring now. If you're gonna read Manufacturing Consent, I'd say go Inventing Reality by Parenti instead. He's such a better writer.
Yep, hard agree. Read Inventing Reality a couple years ago. Found an unofficial reprint on Lulu for my bookshelf.
