Elite Propaganda
The
Myth of the Liberal Media
The Propaganda Model of News
Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky demolish one of the central
tenets of our political culture, the idea of the "liberal
media." Instead, utilizing a systematic model based on
massive empirical research, they reveal the manner in which the
news media are so subordinated to corporate and conservative
interests that their function can only be described as that of
"elite propaganda." Posted

"If you want to understand the way a system works, you
look at its institutional structure. How it is organized, how it
is controlled, how it is funded."
-Noam Chomsky
"The Mainstream media really represent elite interests,
and what the propaganda model tries to do is stipulate a set of
institutional variables, reflecting this elite power, that very
powerfully influence the media."
-Edward Herman
