Documentary Of The Week: Media Propaganda

Written by John Lounsbury

Noam Chomsky, MIT Professor of Linguistics Emeritus, was interviewed some years ago (in the mid-1990s) by the BBC about the professor's view that the press is a propaganda tool.

The BBC interviewer, Andrew Marr, tries to argue that the media doesn't ubiquitously promote propaganda, or has any type of medium intrinsic bias; he gets well and truly screwed on every point he tries to make. The irony is that Andrew Marr's total belief that he's not spewing out propaganda or is too estblishment leaning is exactly the reason why the BBC gave him his job.
