“In China, published criticism of the state has been tightly constrained; newspapers, it is said in China ‘Swat flies but don’t beat tigers”

“Fewer and fewer corporations control more and more of the American news Media”
manufacturing consent
Noam Chomsky is a linguist and liberal political activist. In the documentary ‘Manufacturing consent’ he presents his thoughts on how the mass media works against democracy’s best interests. The corporations and investors controlling the outlets where most people get their news, he argues, selectively choose what to cover for reasons having to do with personal agendas and retaining power, rather than what’s best for readers and viewers.

“the political an economic perspective has been adopted and primarily by left-wing critics and analysts”
Noam Chomsky
- Wrote a book where authors propose that the mass communication media of the U.S. “are effective and powerful ideological institutions that carry out a system-supportive propaganda function, by reliance on market forces, internalized assumptions, and self-censorship, and without overt coercion”.
- There has been debate about how the Internet has changed the public’s access to information since 1988.
- The theory postulates five general classes of “filters” that determine the type of news that is presented in news media.
Noam Chomsky
In the 1960s, linguist Noam Chomsky proposed a revolutionary idea: We are all born with an innate knowledge of grammar that serves as the basis for all language acquisition. In other words, for humans, language is a basic instinct. The theory, however, has long been met with widespread criticism — now it has changed.

Colorless green ideas sleep furiously.
Education is a system of imposed ignorance.
If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.
