Watch documentary on youtube: • Manufacturing Consent ...
The interview was edited into two (or was it 3?) segments and played on my public-access show, also called "Non-Corporate News", on Time-Warner Cable channel 3, which then included the communities of Lynn, Salem, and Swampscott Massachusetts.
Thanks to: Noam Chomsky, Len Caplan, Dan Kline, Peter Sofronas, Mark Achbar, and "Manufacturing Consent" crew.

"If you can read the media with enough cynicism...then you can resist." Fundamentally the most important thing to know about how to interact with the MSM. Learning about Chomsky's work is not a comforting experience but living in a world that is largely ignorant of his wisdom is far worse.

[@noncorporatenews]

There is something so iconic about this era of Chomsky's life...In his sixties, which now appears to us followers of his work as a young sage. I am a kid by comparison, I suppose - only 29. But you can look at Chomsky here, some of the lectures of the late 80's, through the 1990's....Whatever has inspired Chomsky's social criticism....seems to me that, during this era of his life, it is of a specially-developed intensity. I am grateful to see "Non-Corporate News" from Mark Achbar's documentary is on KZbin....some of the excerpts of this exact interview ended up sustaining my sanity through the difficulties of coming-of-age and many personal trials. Even nowadays, in 2021, he carries on. I am lucky to have met him a few times and talked with him a few times too. Humble, helpful, sincere. Greetings to Non-Corporate News from Western MA. Workin' away in kitchens in Springfield.

Hi Stephen, Thanks for that nice response. It was a lucky break that I wound up in that documentary, it isn't like they did a nationwide search for best public-access person, and I won. They just happened to be in town the same day I did that interview. They also setup all the equipment, which I was unfamiliar with. If I had done it myself, it would've looked and sounded like sh*t probably. Best wishes.

Ok assuming that Noam is right and it does sound exaggeratedly bleak and cynical to me since it assumes the average citizen is incapable of thinking for themselves and is totally dependent on mass media for its opinions But I am more interested in what he thinks we should do about it rather than being dragged down a tunnel of despair with no light in sight In Australia (that’s down under to Americans) we have “the pub test” which politicians are terrified of because it is the collective bull shit detector which the “ordinary” bloke in the pub will wield and declare a politician as being either a wanker or not too bad The inherent skepticism of the average Ozzie is fairly immune to manipulation and acts as a on pollies getting up themselves

Thank you for posting. Prof. Chomsky is absolutely incredible in his knowledge of the facts, current and historical. His truth-telling, essays, books, for some 45 or so years, are precious and necessary reading. America is and has been an imperial power. We are indeed privileged to have Noam all these years. I have learned so much from his writings.

All three of the gentlemen you mentioned are from different fields of study. Your slight against both Harris and Peterson, pretentiously posed as a question exposes a lack of intelligence that would be required to even recognize the level of intelligence and knowledge with which these individuals experience reality. As a matter of fact, every single person who's had the audacity to assume that they're in any way, shape or form qualified to critique the ideas or philosophies or theories that all three, Chomsky, Harris or Peterson, in the comment section of a video that was uploaded two years ago of an interview that was conducted and recorded twenty-four years ago are displaying nothing other than arrogance and ignorance and are as far from affecting them, or anyone fortunate enough to even begin to understand their deepth of understanding and intelligence, as you are from Bootes Void. Personally, i respect and enjoy listening to all three though I haven't the hubris to claim to understand and/or agree with everything they propose but I appreciate the good faith with which they conduct themselves and their positions. Unfortunately, the same can't be said of those to whom my comment is intended.
