Noam Chomsky Exposes the ‘Propaganda Model’ Used to Control the U.S. Population in 6 Minutes

Essentially, the gatekeepers of information were not able to do their job as propagandists efficiently as there was a counter narrative of truth that overcame the usual methods of controlling the public narrative.
This has resulted in a push to have Facebook censor “fake news” as forwarded by controversial liberal professor Mish Zimdars, who released a “fake news” list that featured “False, Misleading, Clickbait-y, and/or Satirical ‘News’ Sources.”
The problem is that only two of those modifiers suggest actual fake news —”false” and “satirical.” The other two words are judgment calls that we make, ourselves, as informed readers. Note that this is precisely the type of propaganda Chomsky warned about.
In light the recent move to censor “fake news” on Facebook, his message has become even more important. While many people welcome the censoring of clearly fallacious new stories, there is an insidious nature in the manner in which ideologically based news sites have been lumped in with satire and false news.
There is a clear and present danger of a massive censorship regime that includes legitimate, ideologically based, news content on Facebook — an extremely slippery slope to traverse once venturing down the path of stifling the free flow of information.
In the video below, listen to Chomsky break down how this subtle but powerful system of control works to influence and control the narrative of political discourse in the Western world — and brainwash entire nations into subservience in the process.
