Manufacturing Consent - Noam Chomsky - 1/17

Official description:
Funny, provocative and surprisingly accessible, "Manufacturing Consent" explores the political life and ideas of world-renowned linguist, intellectual and political activist Noam Chomsky. Through a dynamic collage of biography, archival gems, imaginative graphics and outrageous illustrations, Mark Achbar and Peter Wintonick's award-winning documentary highlights Chomsky's probing analysis of mass media and his critique of the forces at work behind the daily news.

@titaniumlibra

Thanks for the link... but why go to Hulu when you're already on YT? The whole doc has been uploaded right here plus I made a handy-dandy playlist to aid accessibility.

/view_play_list?p=3D23E9A28ACC­CABC

But really, it doesn't matter which website people use to access this information. The important thing is the subject matter itself. MC can also be found on Google video and topdocumentaryfilms, along with many other sites I'm sure.

Over 10,000 views! Comment, discuss, debate!

YT changed the format of playlist URLs.

Current URL for Manufacturing Consent playlist:

/playlist?list=PL3D23E9A28ACCC­­ABC

Make sure the URL shows up exactly like that in your address bar. For some reason, whenever I copy-paste that block of text, it adds an unnecessary hyphen in front of the last three characters.

Some work-arounds to this problem: You can manually type it, or paste it into a Google search, or paste it into a text document then re-copy it, or find the link on my main page.

Thanks for the upload. Reading the book Manufacturing Consent is tops on my list.

@sam7748

No problema. Glad to post this and put it out there. I too have yet to read Manufacturing Consent but intend to one of these days .

"Propaganda" by Edward Bernays is worth reading if you'd like to understand more about the theory and practice of propaganda / public relations. It's not very long and surprisingly candid and straightforward. In many ways it's a sales pitch to groups that would profit or otherwise benefit from public manipulation.

@lightningshrub

Yes, please do. This is very important information but I don't go out of my way to advertise it or generate visits to my channel. Share it with fellow youtubers, e-mail friends and family, link to it through your blog, whatever...

Anyone can help spread this info. Let's do our part to make Noam Chomsky the household name he deserves to be!

And a little while later, the gratifying truth comes out with the Daily Mail scandal.

[MegaFatNerd]

@Mars2O84 they changed the URL again /watch?v=1FKdU_xL4O8&feature=r­esults_main&playnext=1&list=PL­58F82CE6315BA46C should be it now

Still not enough views everyone! Post this onto your facebook, twitter or favourite link sharing site. Especially now with OWS in action people are questioning more and more!

[SozialGerechtFair]

@Mars2O84 is it allowd to post this video on youtube? is this under creative commons? that would be a great news. do you have any information about that?

[Arrbyy]

@Mars2O84 :

Thanks for the 'useable' ( so far) link! I added it to my blog. Incidentally, I don't know whether top documentary films did have the documentary available, but when I pointed readers of my blog to it, I noticed that what was on offer was merely an intro. That led me to YouTube.

Thank goodness for YouTube! However, The people have lost a lot of ground in the area of tools for the people that enable communication of information. Chomsky himself warned of this problem.

[Npowell01]

Chomsky makes a good point when saying "Had it not been for that second sentence, I would have thought I was doing something wrong."

The media knows that most people are bored by intellectuals, intellectual pursuits, and esoteric knowledge, regardless of the fact that it could help them. If they call someone "The most important intellectual" in a publication, they know that their audience is going to react "What a pretentious douchebag he must be." and not go about reading any of it.

make a short of rolling quotes and sound clips with sublime or rage against the machine in modulated roar ,... edit noam so he speaks in short potent sentences , cut to graphics and news clips , graphs are nice ,.... then link to the long version ... like a trailer
