Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the… de Edward S. Herman

While thorough, well argued, and extremely informative, was significantly denser and more academic than I was expecting or could tolerate. Reads like a court transcript of a prosecutor laying out an irrefutable set of facts where a conviction is guaranteed; as bulletproof as 10ft of cement and equally hard to get through

Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the… de Edward S. Herman

No idea how to rate books like this. Did I find the concept and information valuable? Yes. Did I actually enjoy most of it? Not really. That being said, it's a super important book about American/Western media, and it has allowed me to see it's goals and propaganda a lot more clearly. Fascinating book, but can get very dry, for very long periods of time that make it kind of brutal to get through.

Corporate media and our political masters are much less likely to be believed in their ravings.

An updated version of this work would be a definite five star offeing.… (més)
