Manufacturing Consent
This
documentary film explores the political life and ideas of Noam
Chomsky, a linguist, intellectual, and political activist. Created
by two Canadian independent filmmakers, it expands on the ideas of
Chomsky's earlier book, Manufacturing Consent: The Political
Economy of the Mass Media, which he co-wrote with Edward S. Herman.
The film presents and illustrates Chomsky's and Herman's propaganda
model, the thesis that corporate media, as profit-driven
institutions, tend to serve and further the agendas of the
interests of dominant, elite groups in the society. A centerpiece
of the film is a long examination into the history of The New York
Times's coverage of Indonesia's invasion and occupation of East
Timor, which Chomsky claims exemplifies the media's unwillingness
to criticize an ally.
