● The Corporate Media

The Corporate Media
     and Media Consolidation 
A documentary that deserves to be watched and re-watched... 
This 1992 documentary film Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media observes the political life and ideas of the intellectual, activist, & linguist Noam Chomsky. The documentary created by Mark Achbar and Peter Wintonick is largely based on Chomsky's earlier book, Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media, co-written with Edward S. Herman.

"The question in brief is whether democracy and freedom are values to be preserved [for the 99%] or threats to be avoided [to the 1%]. In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and freedom are more than values to be treasured; they may well be essential to survival."
-Noam Chomsky
