Media Control

Chomsky Revives His Perennial Classic With Fresh Comments On The Post-9/11 World Chomsky's classic back-pocket primer on US government propaganda and media bias is one of the Open Media Pamphlet Series's best-selling titles of all time, with more than 100,000 copies currently in print. In this concise book, the master political analyst (Ingram) looks at American propaganda efforts from the warmongering of Woodrow Wilson to the creation of popular support for the 1991 military intervention in Kuwait and beyond. Through fact after substantiated fact, he reveals how falsification of history, suppression of information, and the promotion of vapid, empty concepts have become standard operating procedure for the leaders of the United States in their efforts to prevent citizens from raising awkward questions about US policy. Arguably more important now than ever, this newly expanded edition furthers Chomsky's analysis with his January 2002 comments regarding media coverage of terrorism and US foreign policy in the post-September 11 world.
