À propos de cet audio
Noam Chomsky has not made any major public appearances or issued new statements in the past few days, but his influence has continued to echo through recent events, commentaries, and popular media. As of September 24th, there is no verified report of a new speech, interview, or live event featuring Chomsky himself, and no new business activities have been recorded according to the latest available biographical podcasts. However, his foundational work remains central to ongoing public discussions.
Chomsky’s critique of propaganda and media manipulation was a central topic in a recent documentary-style podcast, which dissected the modern mechanics of global power and referenced his seminal book “Who Rules the World?” This program, released just yesterday on the channel Decoding Power, borrowed heavily from Chomsky’s ideas about the hidden structures that shape public opinion and how powerful corporate interests and governments filter media content. The show not only quoted Chomsky’s “propaganda model” from “Manufacturing Consent” but also explored the enduring relevance of his insight that media in democratic societies act as tools for shaping consent among the public—a theme that, as The Express Tribune discussed in its retrospective this week, remains acutely timely.
Chomsky’s arguments for the necessity of intellectuals to challenge propaganda were also referenced in coverage of an event at UMass-Amherst, where Norman Finkelstein, another leading critic of US-Israeli policy, was set to speak on the Gaza crisis. During promotion of Finkelstein’s talk, Chomsky was quoted as stating that Finkelstein’s work stands alone in its forensic critique of the Israel-Palestine situation. Though Chomsky himself is not attending, his endorsement has added gravity to ongoing debates about academic freedom and dissent.
Social media remains alight with Chomsky’s most pithy quotes, especially his iconic defense of free speech. On Threads, users widely recirculated his reminder that if we do not believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we do not believe in it at all. This line, frequently invoked amid current controversies over censorship and campus protests, continues to mark Chomsky as a lodestar for defenders of open dialogue.
Lastly, Manufacturing Consent and Chomsky’s analysis of media manipulation resurfaced in connection with an upcoming film screening in Nyack, where panelists will discuss the relevance of his ideas to contemporary political crises and suppressed historical events.
There are no credible reports of major headlines, health scares, or new projects directly involving Chomsky in the past twenty-four hours. As always, beware of social media rumors—such as earlier false death reports—that have no foundation in verified sources.
