Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (17088 ratings)

Description:Contrary to the usual image of the press as cantankerous, obstinate, and ubiquitous in its search for truth, Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky depict how an underlying elite consensus largely structures all facets of the news. They skillfully dissect the way in which the marketplace and the economics of publishing significantly shape the news. They reveal how issues are framed and topics chosen. They contrast the double standards underlying accounts of free elections, a free press, and governmental repression between Nicaragua and El Salvador; between the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and the American invasion of Vietnam; between the genocide in Cambodia under a pro-American government and genocide under Pol Pot. They explore how Watergate and the Iran-contra hearings manifest not an excess but a lack of investigative zeal into the accumulating illegalities of the executive branch. What emerges from this pathbreaking work is an account of just how propagandistic our mass media are, and how we can learn to read them and see their function in a radically new way.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
