Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media by Edward S. Herman, Noam Chomsky
annebap's review against another edition
3.0
DNF. I thought the book's point was made in the first 25 pages and the rest just felt like an endless list of examples that supported the point. I understand that it reinforces the point but to a degree it bored me.

Still germane 30+ years after initial publication. Chomsky can devolve into hyperbole, but definitely still worth a read.

My library loan was going to expire and Chomsky seems to just be going on and gone when he basically made his point in Chapter 1 and 2.

This book was very evaluative and provided a lot of insight on US foreign policy. It has a big focus on the media aspect that sheds light on the world we live in and how the mass media operate to serve the state.
