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.
- Synaesthesia 5y agoYeah they’re both right and criticising the media is also something progressives have done since the early 20th century.
