Hey, thanks for posting this. Any chance you have the promised next session (at the end of this video)? I wonder whether it ever happened.

[RealAgentOfSHIELD]

I wish ... I'm sorry to say that I don't. I found this show on VHS at a flea market, so if you're at one keep your eyes out. I do have a network of people who collect shows like these, but a lot of them are on the right and don't like Noam ... its unlikely I can find it.

Donahue got balls, for he invited this guy to his show...

Phil Donohue wasn't even allowed to have Chomsky on his fated MSNBC show. Or so I have heard. Also look for Jeff Cohen, he has some interesting things to say about the media, as well.

We're not biased, look how we have you on for a hour of a show that nobody watches!

[PurpleHoneyBear]

This Wolfe guy just creates a straw man. These people always do this. As much as I love him, Hitchens as well.

. . . they don't need censorship - the time constraint is enough to keep guests from getting a word in edgewise. . . american commercial media is a joke. . .

I know that somewhat about that time - 1993 - this programme was cancelled, didn't it happen because of this interview with Chomsky?

And I like this thought of Chomsky that he proposed earlier that in free society and in totalitarian society you often achieve the same thing but by different ways.

"Next time with Noam Chomsky"

A-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!! My ass... He just pwned Donohue and Pozner didn't seem like he wanted to start with Chomsky. I doubt any other corporately owned, nationally broadcasted news channel would ever have him on again. Not after saying what corporations don't want people to hear.

[whereismybailouttv]

I'm curious. Since Chomsky is so well-known, what happens if he goes to a major event and other big names are there as well (many of whom wouldn't give him the time of day on-air)?

Do they feel silly at all about that? Or do they just say, for (insert large network salary here), what the **** do I care?

Superb interview, greatly appreciate the upload RealAgentOfSHEILD

It is interesting to see Posner very sympathetic to Chomsky's arguments. I think it is due to Posner's experience with the Soviets and the disillusionment. Donahue on the other hand is very critical and seems not to accept Chomsky's argument.
