  • Marr: "How can you know that I'm self-censoring?"

    Chomsky: "I don't think you're self-censoring. I'm sure you believe everything you're saying. But what I'm saying is if you believed something different, you wouldn't be sitting where you're sitting."

    As is to be expected, Chomsky sure knows how to express himself. This is dangerously brilliant.

  • chomsky just knows a ridiculous amount:who else would know about biases of the british press in 1960s?

  • chomsky holds the world record for fastest TKO in any sport or thing

  • Marr gets taken to school by Chomsky. just brutal

  • One thing to pick up on from what Chomsky says - The Daily Herald was relaunched as The Sun in 1964 but after talking about the Herald, Chomsky mentions the "tabloids of that time - the Mirror and the Sun". Apologies if this has already been pointed out and it doesn't detract at all from Chomsky's vast knowledge of seemingly any topic he speaks on. I could watch these videos all day

  • I would give so much to be half as intelligent, disciplined, driven and passionate as Chomsky.

  • this andrew marr guy is so smug with no credibility. nothing worthy to say, just waffles to the worlds biggest intellect to big up his ego. and thats the kinda world we live in

  • This is intellectual blitzkreig! Marr was simply overwhelmed - Chomsky has at his disposal an incredible mind.

  • Noam Chomsky is supremely informed and incinerates Andrew Marr with his usual quiet nonchalant manner. What a gifted inspiring man he is. You have to pause a while and remind yourself that this the political editor of the BBC ( at the time of interview ) and he is completely dominated by Chomsky's ability to drown you in facts and refrences. Pure brilliance.

  • Marr is still on the BBC. Shocking...

  • It's like this guy just walked straight into the lion's den with a blindfold on. Awesome!

  • @phooey108 So... ummm... OK! An admission that they did in fact monitor these groups, but one that simultaneously maintains a righteous tone as if you are still correct. Refer to my comment above. Step back and look at the context. All the pieces fit in my world view, what about you? Account for the presence of dark hatred in evil in the United States government while simultaneously accounting for its fundamentally progressive nature. Its world changing liberation efforts. I can. Can you?
