Your first link is to a summary of a book and your second doesn’t mention the associated press

I don’t know what to tell you. To not be familiar with Chomsky’s or Parenti’s work is to lack basic media literacy, which, to be fair, is most people.

If you don’t want to read a book, you might start with the video documentary: Manufacturing Consent Noam Chomsky and the Media (Documentary) 1080p
