    I love that you’ve chosen the “can’t trust the intelligence agencies, only Noam Chomsky” hill to or on, and yet this articles conclusion is just laughably obvious

      “can’t trust the intelligence agencies, only Noam Chomsky”

      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.

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