Funny, provocative and accessible, Manufacturing Consent explores the political life and ideas of Noam Chomsky, world-renowned linguist, intellectual and political activist. Through a collage of biography, archival material, imaginative graphics and outrageous illustrations, Mark Achbar and Peter Wintonick's 22-award-winning documentary highlights Chomsky's probing analysis of mass media and his critique of the forces at work behind the daily news.
Viewers are encouraged to extricate themselves from the “web of deceit” by undertaking a course of “intellectual self-defence.” Appearing in the film are leading journalists and critics, including Bill Moyers, William F. Buckley, Jr., Tom Wolfe, Peter Jennings, Jeff Greenfield, Michael Moore, philosopher Michel Foucault, White House reporter Sarah McClendon and New York Times editorial writer Karl E. Meyer.

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,

It's a genocide in palestine against the indigenous people perpetrated by the oppressor Israel. You are wrong for calling it a war.

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. 🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏

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. 💜

“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

also thanks to capitalism for that ....the over consumation in our society is also distractings us and keeping us dumb and eliminates critical thinking

Years back, I purchased the DVD of this documentary. I've played it so much, and loaned it out to others... that it has gotten a lot of play... and for whatever reason the disk won't play anymore. Maybe if I get it professionally cleaned where they scrape away the scratches in the plastic... I can get it working again... or I can buy another copy. In any event, I love that this video is available on KZbin. This version is higher resolution... but as you mentioned in the video description, it does have hard coded subtitles... and yes, you have another uploaded version WITHOUT the hard coded subtitles... but it is much lower resolution. Any chance you'd consider uploading a third version that is the higher resolution WITHOUT the hard coded subtitles? I'd definitely appreciate it as would a lot of other people. Thanks in advance for any consideration.

At 2:11:57 NC is trying to argue that noone would believe that Fourisson was anything other than a lunatic. But now we have tons of people who actually believe and follow individuals every bit as bizarre and nonsensical as what Fourissson was saying. Lies are truth since 2016.. So what's the plan now, Uncle Noam?

One of the most important documentaries ever. Just wish it had less focus on Chomsky and more on the idea of the actual content! The idea of the immense power and influence of all forms of media as propaganda, and as socio-cultural programming wether intentional or not. Too bad the man has completely gone off the rails and lost any grip on reality in his old age. and

[@HUMShaBaK]

It is based on his book "Manufacturing Consent"

[@fabiengerard8142]

Overacceleration of the historical process, civilizational dead end at a global scale, etc. Sorry, but I'd never say he's "completely gone off the rails and lost any grip on reality" in the last few years. If you happened to fail grabbing his latest views on the major international events, it sounds like the problem may very well be with you instead.
