Yes, it some sense it almost is, but this has to be taken in the context of a large population who has been taught things all their lives that directly conflict with their personal experience. It's hard to not love someone who despite all the opposition and personal attacks continues to work in the name of truth and justice. Better a chomsky cult than a 9/11 truther cult or "angry white male" phenomenon of the likes of Pat Buchanan etc.

Andrew Marr was the reporter. Quite respected in Britain as a political journalist. That doesn't say much though.

Probably extremely few. There's another video on here where Chomsky cuts up a cocksure young English reporter. He tells him something like that for someone to make it to even that reporter's level in the media hierarchy (not to mention higher up) they need to not only espouse the propaganda, but to sincerely believe that they espouse it as their own critical opinion.

I wonder how many people working within the US media realize that they're participating in propagating a propaganda model...
