- berntb 10y agoAccording to w-pedia, Chomsky wrongly dismissed the eye witnesses as an anti communist propaganda conspiracy... And evaluated as more trustworthy the supporters of dogma/regimes that already before the "Killing Fields" had a history of mass murderers. If you dismiss whatever you want as a conspiracy, you can motivate any conclusion. (Here: "Country X used propaganda in a war, I'll assume they do exactly the same amount of propaganda when not in a war.")
