The Network of Public Opinion

The network that shapes and influences public opinion includes the media and the school systems. Noam Chomsky recognizes that the tools of propaganda were developed by the liberal left. He seems to think that they are wielded by the conservative right.

What Prof. Chomsky does not seem to realize is that the ruling class uses the network to further its purposes. He sees the commercial media as essentially conservative, while conservatives see the media as liberal.

I see the media as the public face of the the Establishment. At any rate, I hope you find the following excerpt thought-provoking.
