Manufacturing Consent description
An absolutely brilliant analysis of the ways in which individuals and organizations of the media are influenced to shape the social agendas of knowledge and, therefore, belief. Contrary to the popular conception of members of the press as hard-bitten realists doggedly pursuing unpopular truths, Herman and Chomsky prove conclusively that the free-market economics model of media leads inevitably to normative and narrow reporting. Whether or not you've seen the eye-opening movie, buy this book, and you will be a far more knowledgeable person and much less prone to having your beliefs manipulated as easily as the press.

♥♥♥♥ Eye Opening
Quite simply, this book will open your eyes to alot that goes on right in front of them. Many would say this is a conspiracay theory, but we know conspiracies do happen. Chomsky highlights just how the government can assert its control on an unknowing populace. Nietzsche said that if you are raising a population of slaves, it would be madness to teach them to be the masters; I recommend that anyone who does not want to live their life as an automoton, that is, if you are someone who questions things and does not simply accept things on blind faith, read this book. (I give this book only four stars because there are other topics which capture my attention much more; but nonetheless, if you only read a handful of books in your life, this should be one of them!)
