Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media (Mark Achbar & Peter Wintonick, 1992) Three hour film with talks, interviews, and debates with Noam Chomsky. A good film to see if you are interested in learning about Chomsky. Showing the media is biased and some critics are idiots who never even read Chomsky's writing (easily demonstrated and pretty entertaining). But not a substitute for the facts and research of his books. Reveals one of his persistent problems: blandly equating socialist and imperialist power without regard to their contents. As an anarchist, he believes that anyone holding power is evil. For Chomsky there are no relative advances. He is an idealist and so everything is either perfect or it is wrong; no workable solutions, but good exposure of the imperialists, and especially their media.
