Read Noam Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent". Then you'll realize where my "wild" statements are coming from.

Chomsky is an apogolet on Dictaturship. Not at all any credible authority.

Valid reply to "appeal to authority", no?

Noam Chomsky criticizes the US press in the book for being a mouth piece for government propaganda. e.g. Judith Miller, New York Times on the WMDs in Iraq. etc etc.

Why does his views on Dictatorship make his critique of the press invalid? Isn't that like saying every criticism of Israel by a non-Jewish person is anti-semitic, no?
