Manufacturing Consent

This book examines how elite interests influence mass media. Herman and Chomsky analyse the relationship between media, economics, and power. They explore how the framing of news is determined by underlying biases and economic pressures. Key topics include the portrayal of free elections and governmental actions in different countries, revealing double standards in reporting. The authors argue that mainstream media often function as propaganda tools, shaping public perception in ways that serve elite agendas. This work encourages readers to critically evaluate the media they consume.
