Thank you, Paul Jay. Your work at the Real News was consistently among the most important contributions to expanding and deepening our political awareness of anything on the Internet. You and Sharmini are sorely missed.
There IS a lot of investigative journalism going on with the smaller bloggers and new news agencies. It's not to the scope of journalism in the old heyday, but it is growing, and the resources for gathering are vastly more powerful than they were 50 years ago. Film footage alone is virtually everywhere. And available to literally everyone.
Another harsh reality is that as both computing and the internet become more Corporatized (i.e. corporate ads on UA-cam, Face Book, Twitter, and the prevalence of tablet computing requiring data storage on virtual devices or "the cloud") the internet becomes more vulnerable to the controls of the propaganda model. It is well on its way toward being so.
My mother : You're so lucky to be in the USA . She was a government employee her entire life. On lunch break 6 hours out of a 8 work day. I remember her brother telling me that Social Security was free. He had a 8 hour per day paid for by the private sector worker lunch break. And then went into a federal retirement that was at this point almost as long as be was employed, and still going!
Social media sources, bloggers ~ they're not primarily investigative journalists. Trouble being, there are so few investigative journalists employed by newspapers and the TV media that its led to a corrosion of our free press. Both newspapers and TV media are competing for advertising revenue, so they're relying more on puff pieces and celebrity nonsense, which are cheaper to put out there, but not particularly informative or newsworthy. I don't know what the solution to this might be ...
@@DanVicary thank you Dan. It seems to be part if the whole game that we dobt get to research these things until we either retire or unplug, with the consequences of that. But, as they say, the truth is out there. If we take the time to find our own perspective we inevitably come to similar conclusions. And that is the amazing thing about the truth. Thanks again, for sharing.
huh? I meant to advocate for one to google the second last bullet pt since I couldnt post a website. it gives a good account of the macro conditions in Depression era so as to benchmark.
While I'm not as cynical as you are, if you are inferring that people who pick/choose/believe in something will not nessecerily choose someone who actually stands for what they want, I agree that can and does happen often.
How can a subsidised media be independent? If you force people to pay for it, against their will? Why can't people just support outlets they find credible? I don't understand this special pleading.
Not clear on your point but if current trends persist, the internet will be a dramatically different over the coming years and I don't mean more free and more accessible. Corporate interests are vying for control. The most powerful players (i.e. Google) have already shown they will to impose whatever controls their biggest clients (i.e.China) want. Facebook and Twitter also have control over your content. It depends on how threatened the government feels about what's happening in hyperspace.
Quote from Benito Mussolini: "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power." When you get an education, fell free to comment again.
Depends on if you are thinking people who vote for libertarians or people who sponsor libertarians, Most Ron Paul voters are as naive as progressives or social-democrats who voted for Obama, Its the difference between propaganda for the rabble and motives of super-rich to want a "libertarian" world, two very different things.
If you are an intellectual & scholar of Herman or Chomsky's, etc., magnitude, there are going to be books piled up and stacks of papers everywhere! Lay off!
Media does support a large propaganda function but it needs to be handled in a sensitive way so that it doesn't negatively effect people in our society
As for the money issue, people ignore malfeasant journalism eventually. Why are all you ppl here after all? Same thing has happened in south american countries. Media will say something, but no one believes them anymore. What keeps those places going are direct or indirect loans from those who control the currency, (they can freely pick the "winners" and losers") and from the laws setup by the governing body that helps stamp out any valid competition. Again see South America or dictatorships
Chomsky =/= the academic left. Chomsky has decried the same things you have and certainly doesn't shape the news. He is celebrated on the left and is the most cited, most important intellectual alive in America, but for the most part the mainstream news won't touch him. I googled "chomsky" "krugman" and "luminary" and found nothing, but in any case, quoting out of context is poor form. As I said, I've read most of the books and don't really know what you're talking about. I call trolling.
The most important book and documentary I have ever rread or watched. Thanks Professors Herman and Chomsky.
And I wish Noam Chomsky immortality.

@@Picklemedia Get some content, buddy.
That book opened my eyes and changed my life. Thanks!

The flak, the flak, the negative feedback: poetry in motion, like a Democratic ocean, the tides of which no one decides.
there are lots of outlets on the internet, watch out though - you may need to read!
Would the upcoming impeachment be considered to be manufactured consent ?
I don't see why not, but very few on the left would trouble themselves with that precise question.
He needs a bigger office. Bookshelves are more orderly, but they leave more unused space than using stacks does.

Greenspan was to libertarians as Bush was to promoting peace.
Honestly if you think Greenspan was libertarian you have no clue what libertarians are.

settle down badass
This is nonsense associationism. Chomsky also quotes Marx and Lenin in his works, but this doesn't make him either a Marxist or Leninist either.
TheAzov you're an idiot. Your self conformation bias is strong.
but agree that libertarian ideas are destructive and further the continuance of the consent of today
"Moron" is a big word for you? Don't worry: you'll hear the word plenty, and will sooner or later get a handle on it.

This is a very informative theorethical essay but in reality Money talk :-( that's history that's life and nothing will ever change
Sad but true...
