Nothing Chomsky comes up with is accurate or ever stays accurate. The propaganda model is pro-communism. The corporations benefit from China. The media and hollywood protect China. Russia is still the scape goat though. On topic: this article itself has plenty of propaganda in it. I'd say ironically, but I know it's on purpose.

  I recommend the preface and first chapter of "Killing hope" for a look into communism and anti-communism.

  The article says: "In versions published after the 9/11 attacks on the United States in 2001, Chomsky and Herman updated the fifth prong to instead refer to the "War on Terror" and "counter-terrorism", which they state operates in much the same manner."
