"Chomsky writes pretty much the same book every year. He's a good analyst of world affairs, but much of his work is more uncritical than it might be (e.g., his discussions of Zionism, sports, and Indigenous rights). His best work by far is Manufacturing Consent (co-written with Edward Herman), though the authors' basic premise is lifted whole cloth from Antonio Gramsci's theory of hegemony. Chomsky and Herman's critique becomes more relevant by the day, which shows that the world is becoming scarier at exactly the same rate."
"This book is very good for the Propranda Model that Chomsky posits. It's an illuminating yardstick on the media. Chomsky write the book so the language is dense, but on the plus side: he utilized a Linguistics Style of writing with section headings and subheadings that allows for faster skimming than "bottom-up" page by page processing.
I also found myself comparing previous US military actions as decribed in the media to current wars. The sections on the Vietnam War: I thought very good."
