The model isn’t a personal opinion. It was created by Chomsky, yes, and Edward Herman, but it’s just a framework for analyzing media and appeared first in a published work alongside numerous “case studies” featuring a litany of citations detailing not only the stark difference between how our media covers our own actions vs “enemy states” but also how those very own intelligence agencies meddled in multiple other countries, including Vietnam, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and more.
I’m not even saying this is necessarily untrue, but the irony in this article is palpable.
If commenting on bias in reporting then I can’t help but recall the seminal work on the topic in the West in Manufacturing Consent. , particularly the section of the model on sourcing.

Again, this isn’t unnecessarily untrue, but don’t be blind to the other side of it either.
Not everyone you disagree with online is a witting/unwitting Russian agent, especially tiny Lemmy communities.

But I guess when we do it, it’s good and cool.
