In a lecture from 15 Mar 89 that’s more relevant today than ever, Prof. Chomsky provides an in-depth discussion of the “propaganda model” of “historical engineering, thought control and indoctrination” used by the “liberal intellectual class” to “feed the masses”, discussed in the book, co-authored with Ed Herman, Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media — (in our opinion) one of the most, if not the most, important political science works of the modern day — followed by Q&A.
