Evidence Rebuts Chomsky's Theory of Language Learning

Chomsky nails politics and 'how the world works.' It is easy to understand why he is censored out of the news media. Not to go off on a tangent, but a brief opinion: I have made it a hobby for two decades comparing the coverage of specific news stories in different countries. I have noticed the censorship in the USA has become a much worse problem in the last few years.

Thanks, I read that. Perhaps I should have said Chomsky usually gets it right. Middle east, encroaching corporatism, etc.
