Manufacturing Consent - Noam Chomsky and the Media

Manufacturing Consent - Noam Chomsky and the Media is a documentary film arguing that the United States media is best understood as propaganda produced to protect the economic interests of the shareholders and owners of the companies producing the media. The film includes a brief biography of Noam Chomsky and is much less detailed than Noam Chomsky and [Edward Herman]?'s book Manufacturing Consent -- The Political Economy of the Mass Media; interestingly enough, the film itself fits one definition of propaganda, as it has an overt political agenda, was created expressly to convince viewers of an ideological point of view, and makes no attempt to avoid bias.
