For decades, Noam Chomsky has been the agent provocateur when it comes to critiquing the US mainstream media. He co-authored ‘Manufacturing Consent’, a seminal work on mainstream journalism and its role in the mechanics of power.
According to Chomsky, media operate through five filters: ownership, advertising, the media elite, flak and the common enemy.
