"Reading this book is like listening to a diatribe from your favorite professor. You think he is probably right in his conviction that the media is controlling public opinion of the "bewildered herd," but he doesn't present much empirical research. Must be nice to have tenure.
This is an important book for anyone studying media theory but I don't think the theories hold quite as much water in the digital age. (Post)modern media is more fragmented and thus public opinion is not as easily controlled by major networks and newspapers. Although his points about propaganda are still salient. When we see vague slogans such as "Support our troops," it is important to question the campaign, not the notion. Of course we support the troops. But does that necessarily mean we support the war/surge/endeavor? Idioms like that back us into a corner for ideologies that we many not abide. It is always the right thing to question the message. I'm just not sure we have to do it quite as belligerently as Noam Chomsky."
