Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media | Documentary

The propaganda model described by chomsky is very much revelant at this moment. You can prove it by comparing the US media reaction to the ukraine war and israel gaza war. Its remarkably accurate,

I've seen this doc a few times. I'm just here supporting everyone who uploads/shares it. ✊

Some 30 years ago, THAT VERY BOOK definitely changed both my worldview and the kind of personal 'software' running in my brain. I've never been the same man since then, and kept regularly following every subject published or lectured by such a most brilliant and lucid mind -- "the modern Socrates", as someone once defined him. Don't stop thinking, dearest Professor. We all need you more than ever. 🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏

Thx a lot for the upload of this legendary docu which is timeless and relevant in every age and time!

CBC. Like PBC BBC ABC DW F24 part of the pillar of democracy. Warts included. Thank you Canadian people to supporting the making of this film

SUGGESTED READING: Manufacturing Consent: Changes in the Labor Process Under Monopoly Capitalism Michael Burawoy Since the 1930s, industrial sociologists have tried to answer the question, Why do workers not work harder? Michael Burawoy spent ten months as a machine operator in a Chicago factory trying to answer different but equally important questions: Why do workers work as hard as they do? Why do workers routinely consent to their own exploitation? Manufacturing Consent, the result of Burawoy’s research, combines rich ethnographical description with an original Marxist theory of the capitalist labor process. Manufacturing Consent is unique among studies of this kind because Burawoy has been able to analyze his own experiences in relation to those of Donald Roy, who studied the same factory thirty years earlier. Burawoy traces the technical, political, and ideological changes in factory life to the transformations of the market relations of the plant (it is now part of a multinational corporation) and to broader movements, since World War II, in industrial relations. Sincerely, Doc

I first watched it back in 1994 and it confirmed everything I knew it in my heart.

This documentary describes to a “t” the international situation that we are living today.

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons...who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.” ― Edward L. Bernays, Propaganda

OMG I'm so grateful you shared this documentary which has filled in my knowledge of Chomsky by connecting the linguistic to the societal analysis and the tools of power. I feel like I have a more balanced view of his amazing oeuvre and I'm ALWAYS grateful for anyone who enriches my life in any way.

If we are not experiencing it all first hand, there is a window or a middle-man inbetween us and it. Either we are following teachers or scriptures, we are following just another feeling towards the same thing that we are experiencing ourselves right here in this now, in our slightly different but still same imperfect now. When learning any kind of passed down information no matter where on the spectrum of truth it is ranging, we are by doing so un-learning ourselves to put ourselves under & add on someone else's inner stance, which with time are going to make us, our inner being, into more of a copy than an actual self. Life is live, feel, learn and re-remember and the life we live is the teacher itself, where by living it we should be growing into living books of knowledge, if we actually live it for ourselves. We are both the teacher and the student, as we are both the observer and the one who project the whole moving picture that we see infront of us and dive into each new day when we open our eyes and the camera is again for us, rolling. We are all playing a lead-role in a meaningless story called life. Meaningless until we give it our meaning & then we are acting as each others mirrors as well, reflecting all that greatness but also the inner work which we are taught to just brush under the carpet. So really, we should be grateful for all interaction with life as there is a teacher in absolutely everything. When breaking it down, all we truly have is our energy and together with our energy all we truly need in this life is good health, good morals and a fine-tuned instrument, as in us, to express ourselves properly with, in order to free our minds. let the caged bird fly! Follow no one who wishes followers but the one's who encourage you to live your life for you and to walk your own path. Only by doing so we'll truly know who we are and what we are truly here for. We have it all already & we need no middle-men in order to stay connected to ourselves as we are that creators energy...we are it. We are all born out of it and we're given a slightly different perspective to take in the experience with for a reason. So not to fall for false light. Saying that though, we can not escape what we are not first aware of. We are all god's until it finds a way to change the mind. 💜

Very interesting. I live in a so called democracy as well, but I can't remember one time where we as the public were asked to even give an opinion about the decisions that our government is making. Let alone to have the government present us with a list of reasons for a particular decision, and then have us decide to proceed or refrain from proceeding.

“You should stick with the underdog”

Noam has given information for much needed noble politicians. So where are they, if not campaigning or lobbying, or both ?

'Well, I'd suggest that Jane take a look at the ideas of that scumbag Edward Bernays.' (Coughs) Thank you Professor Chomsky.
