"There's no doubt that one of the major issues of twentieth century history, surely in the US, is corporate propaganda. . . Its goal from the beginning, perfectly openly and consciously, was to 'control the public mind,' as they put it. The reason was that the public mind was seen as the greatest threat to corporations" --Noam Chomsky, from the CD. This is the latest in the audio series bringing Chomsky's finest lectures to compact disc. This lecture, and the question-and-answer session that follows, provide and introduction to (and synthesis of) Chomsky's key thinking on the media and propaganda, and their pivotal role in the relentless class struggle being waged daily.
