- TaylorAlexander 5y agoSee also a short video [1] or a long video [2] on the subject. Michael Parenti also published a book on this subject a few years before Chomsky. Inventing Reality: The Politics Of the Mass Media [3] Parenti also has plenty of talks on YouTube [4] [1] https://youtu.be/tTBWfkE7BXU https://youtu.be/tTBWfkE7BXU [2] https://youtu.be/EuwmWnphqII https://youtu.be/EuwmWnphqII [3] https://archive.org/details/inventingrealit000pare https://archive.org/details/inventingrealit000pare [4] https://youtu.be/1jwliZ1YoCs https://youtu.be/1jwliZ1YoCs EDIT: I’m seeing downvotes. I consider these to be genuinely valuable resources on media literacy but if you disagree I’d love to know what aspects of Chomsky or Parenti’s theories you disagree with.
