  This movie or documentary or whatever it is about Noam Chomsky and his book Manufacturing Consent is really damn good.
It really goes a long way to explain what is going on...especially now in the media. It is a long thing to watch...but it is great and tells a great story. It is something that people should burn a few brain cells and think on...he really is a great mind and what is great is that he offers them for free...he gives them to you freely.
All he asks in return is you think about it...and that is all I want for people to do when I post my thoughts or ideas...just think about them. You don't have to agree with them and can even be combative with your view...I support that because I support free speech and I support your right to be whatever or whomever you want as long as you afford me the same right. All this is in jeapordy right now because the Republicans are trying to clamp down on free speech and dissent of anything the president or the cabinet espouses.
If you dissent you are un-patriotic...calling people those names isn't appropriate because how do you defend against that? You can't just say "well I am not a Nazi"...the damage is already done. The person who the charge has been levied against simply cannot dispute a charge like that. Watch the movie. You will see.
