Manufacturing Consent

In this groundbreaking audiobook, Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky challenge the conventional perception of news media as independent truth-seekers, arguing instead that they often serve the interests of powerful privileged groups. Through a series of compelling case studies, including the media's treatment of "worthy" versus "unworthy" victims and the coverage of U.S. wars, they introduce a Propaganda Model to analyze media behavior. The updated introduction reflects on their earlier findings and explores additional implications of their model.
