Manufacturing Consent, or better still Inventing Reality. A five-minute primer: Noam Chomsky - The 5 Filters of the Mass Media Machine

[-] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I may disagree with some of Chomsky’s views, but Manufacturing Consent should be read in every high school in America.

I think Chomsky & Parenti are intentionally kept out of the new, post-Trump media literacy curricula, because it would make people too literate. Just consider who was involved in crafting it.

This week, the RAND Corporation released a new set of media literacy standards designed to support schools in this task.

No one is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them. Nobody is going to teach you your true history, teach you your true heroes, if they know that that knowledge will help set you free.
