Description
A bold and eye-opening exposé on how power and propaganda distort the news, now more relevant than ever - With an updated introduction

"[A] compelling indictment of the news media's role in covering up errors and deceptions in American foreign policy."--The New York Times Book Review

Renowned scholars Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky reveal how U.S. news media, far from being independent watchdogs, often function as tools of elite influence. With probing analysis, they present their Propaganda Model, a framework that explains how systemic bias shapes the stories we're told, the voices we hear, and the truths that remain hidden.

Through deeply researched case studies, from the Vietnam War to coverage of "worthy" vs. "unworthy" victims, Manufacturing Consent exposes the structural forces that drive news organizations to reinforce power rather than question it. It's a sobering portrait of a media system more interested in maintaining order than informing the public.

This edition includes an introduction updating key examples and expanding the Propaganda Model's relevance to issues like the coverage of NAFTA, the media's treatment of global protests, and environmental regulation.

Manufacturing Consent is a powerful assessment of how propagandistic the U.S. mass media are, how they systematically fail to live up to their self-image as providers of the kind of information that people need to make sense of the world, and how we can understand their function in a radically new way.

Whether you're a student, activist, or citizen looking to see beyond the headlines, this book will transform how you understand the media--and the world around you.
