À propos de cet audio
Welcome back to season one, Manufacturing Reality.
You live in a society with a free press. No government censor reviews the news before it airs. Journalists aren't thrown in prison for criticism. So how could the media possibly be controlled?
In this episode, we explore Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman's propaganda model — an argument that free market media can produce conformity more effectively than any state censor. Not through direct control, but through the structural pressures of ownership, advertising, and access.
The news doesn't lie to you. It just consistently frames the world in ways that serve power. Not because of conspiracy, but because the system selects for it.
The question isn't whether journalists are honest. The question is what stories can survive the journey from event to audience.
