7.Conclusions
A powerful Assessment of how the US mass media fail to provide the kind of information that we need to understand the world.
Contrary to the usual image of the press as cantankerous, obstinate and ubiquitous in its search for truth, Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky depict how an underlying elite consensus largely structures all facets of the news. They skilfully dissect the way in which the marketplace and the economics of publishing significantly shape the news.
