media literacy is a big step in freeing one's mind. This documentary on Noam Chomsky came out in 1993....
Chomsky, a political activist (hard left) and critic of US foreign policy, rightly points out a model that accurately reveals just how the media functions as a tool of mind control. He breaks it down and into 5 basic points about how the media is controlled and then gives some concrete examples.
Chomsky was the most quoted living author at the time (as I recall), yet few Americans even know his name. He's been basically banned by mainstream media in the US, yet is a household name in Europe. He's getting up there in age now. He was a huge hero of mine until 911, which he dropped the ball on. He also gave the JFK murderers a pass, basically saying, "WHO CARES?"
I considered this documentary "required reading" for the aware mind. We all know on some level that the media is lying (think WMD) and distorting the truth somehow. The way Chomsky lays it out makes that understanding much more tangible.
Well worth watching.
