Book Reviews of Media Control, Second Edition: The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda (Open Media Series)
Book Review: A Short but excellent introductory look at one of the most powerful weapons
Summary: 5 Stars
"Media Control" is a part of the "Open Media Series" for "Seven Stories Press." This is an ongoing series since the Gulf War and have published numerous (short) political books on media subjects (not just media related).
This short but eye-opening look into the propaganda system of today (as well as the early part of the 20th century) is a flawless and easily understood text that will change your thought on how the U.S. government as well as media corporations operate.
Noam Chomsky is arguably one of the most intelligent political and linguistic authors of our time. This book (although short) will spark some thought about the democracy we live in today (as all of Chomsky's books). This book is worth the small sum you pay and is a great introductory look into how media and information are controlled and distorted by the powerful.
