“There are, …, countries that have “unleashed a series of petty attacks against their neighbors” in these years – for example, Israel, with its invasion of Lebanon in 1978 and 1982-but as an American client state, Israel inherited the right of aggression,…, Israel’s invasion of Lebanon was a “liberation,” as the Times explained at the time, always carefully excluding Lebanese opinion.”

This book gives me anxiety. Really just puts your perspective off axis and makes you look at world events and the news differently

This book is one of the most eye opening books I’ve ever read and I’m only 30% through. Chapter 1 has a description of the US Propaganda model. Chomsky discusses the importance of a free press in democratic society, and how mass media has lead to the consolidation of the press under the umbrella of big business, the government, and the wealthy. It has largely become a machine for controlling public opinion.
