A review by ensara
Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media by Edward S. Herman, Noam Chomsky

3.0

ok solid piece of work, for the most part. it’s thorough, but the style is terribly boring. also i understand his argument fully, but i very much doubt the facts that he provides, because he said the following: 

“Allegedly in response to that country’s (Yugoslavia’s) mistreatment to Kosovo Albanians” 

“this mistreatment (genocide in Kosov) was less severe than: Kurds, East Timorese, etc”

“Not all of them Albanian civilians or victims of the Serbs”

“Alleged killing of some 40 Albanians in Rreçak Kosovo” HELLO????? ALLEGED????? REMAIN IN DISPUTE???? 

Not him trying to justify a re-election of Milošević????????

so if he has said these incorrect statements, i imagine there are other problematic bits.
