Escobar: Embedded with Power pt 2 Dec 26, 2007
But "our" dictators" are exempt from Mubarak to little King Abdullah in Jordan, from the House of Saud to the Persian Gulf monarchies. Even the ghastly Burmese dictatorship got away with their recent bloody repression campaign: Western "pressure" was pathetic. As far as most of the developing world is concerned especially in terms of plundering of national resources this is how it works: it if profits Western elites, it is allowed. If it embodies nationalist aspirations somewhere,... (Zmag.org)
Street: Animal Farm At Home Oct 25, 2007
Thus, there is a huge investment in the U.S. in taking the risk out of democracy through the "manufacture of consent [5]. The strain of the totalitarian virus that forms in response to the vaccine of a strong democratic tradition is perhaps the most powerful one of all. It draws on the most developed techniques of mass advertising, developed on the highest scale in the modern mass-consumerist capitalist democracies. It gains strength, it is important to add, from its stealth... (Zmag.org)

Street: Obamas Insults Oct 3, 2007
" These were maddeningly meager reflections on the wonders of American democracy. Obamas ode to the absence of fascist dictatorship in the U.S. deleted the absence or weakness of substantive positive popular governance there. It evaded the unpleasant fact that much of ordinary U.S. citizens freedom to say, write, and think whatever they wish generally amounts to the liberty to whisper to one's immediate neighbor in the front row of a crowded movie...

Lendman: Story Never Told Sep 15, 2007
It's pure fantasy now and in an earlier era, journalist A.J Liebling said it was only for "those who own(ed) one." Today, they're giants operating the way Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky explained in their classic book on the media titled "Manufacturing Consent." The authors developed their "propaganda model" to show all news and information passes through a set of "filters." "Raw material" goes through them, unacceptable parts are suppressed, and "only the cleansed residue fit to print (and... (Zmag.org)

Barker: Hijacking Human Rights Aug 3, 2007
"The measure of a human rights organisation is to be found not just in the strides it takes to seek justice for the oppressed and victimised but also in the compromises it makes to keep itself out of trouble. Because of the business that human rights defenders are in, they must be held to a standard higher than we demand of others.[2] Unfortunately, it seems that for the most part HRW has evaded such critical commentary from the Left, only coming under scrutiny from a handful of activists...

Lendman: Newspaper of Record Jun 21, 2007
In his book, Herman writes about the "propaganda model" he and Noam Chomsky introduced and developed 11 years earlier in their landmark book titled "Manufacturing Consent." They explained how the dominant media use this technique to program the public mind to go along with whatever agenda best serves wealth and power interests. So imperial wars of aggression are portrayed as liberating ones, humanitarian intervention, and spreading democracy to nations without any. (Zmag.org)

Economist and media critic Edward S. Herman and social and political critic Noam Chomsky note two kinds of victims in their classic 1988 book "Manufacturing Consent."
