Manufacturing Consent.

Documentary that I'd like to discuss a bit once again, by Noam Chomsky.
Even though he leans pretty far to the  left, and I don't always agree with him, he makes some pretty astute observations about the way propaganda works in the media.

I've learned that you can learn from something or someone, even if you do not agree with every policy, opinion, or stance that they take.

In normal times, the news and print media tend to behave in the manor described in the video.
These aren't normal times, and it doesn't necessarily apply to my local print media. They sometimes tend to set their own agenda.

I  suggest checking out the entirety of the documentary on YouTube.
