Noam Chomsky in HARDtalk (2009) 1/3

HARDtalk - Noam Chomsky (on air: 3rd November 2009)
http://tardid.net

Noam Chomsky is one of the world's most prominent and controversial public intellectuals. He is an internationally renowned professor of linguistics, but he is also a longstanding critic of US foreign policy and the influence of big business over the US government.

When he published his first political critique 40 years ago, he was fired up by the war in Vietnam. Today he is still raging against America's malign influence and calls the war in Afghanistan 'immoral'.

He talks to Stephen Sackur.

Chomsky's answers seem heavily edited. Sackur's questions do not.

@Sensarmy300 The interviewer is shit, not the bbc.

[mossy121c]

The BBC wasted a precious thing (an interview with Noam Chomsky) by allowing this ignorant fool to interview him.

I disagree with chomsky's assertion that the internet is not have that big of an impact on society. I think what we are seeing now with the occupy wall street movement is a demographic largely influenced by the internet for better and for worse.

Why go to all the bother of arranging to talk to Noam Chomsky and then talking over him and constantly interrupting.This guy did exactly the same thing with Slavoj Zizek.What a waste of time and the questions were nothing short of banal.

Long live Chomsky. Justice, truth, freedom, rolled in one.

[inapcha]

interviewer is a dick...
