 To “manufacture consent” is to create a system in which citizens become willing and obedient, consenting and unquestioning. views private media is businesses interested in the sale of a product—readers and audiences—to other businesses (advertisers) rather than that of quality news to the public. The audience doesn’t question the papers sources or ideas, simply consuming everything presented to them.

Quotes – Noam Chomsky theory based

‘Normally, news coincides with and reinforces the definition of the political situation evolved by the political elite’.

‘The result was that the media amplified elite disagreements in unsettling and unpredicatable ways’.

‘Major media conglomerates control more and more of the worlds media. Where media isn’t controlled by coporations, it is controlled by the state’.

‘The media ‘serve to moblilize support for the special interest that dominate the state and private industry’.
