- samtp 16y agoThe phrase "Manufacturing Consent" has nothing to do with universal grammar. It is about the factors that create a news environment that favors specific interests.
- nickpinkston 16y agoYes, I fully know that. I read Chomsky's politics far more than linguistics. I was making a joke where the analogy was that: A: Languages were the 5 factors of media control cover in MC. B: "Consent" was a common set of language principles representing Chomsky's linguistics. Too much of a reach?
