Exiled German philosopher on how the academia-media complex manufactures consent
Rumble link Bitchute link I've had my differences with Noam Chomsky. But when he and Ed Herman argued that Western information industries (starting with media and academia) are propaganda factories that “manufacture consent,” he was right on the money. Today we travel to Asia for an insider’s view of the academic branch of the consent...
