Manufacturing Consent — Media, Power, and the Limits of Debate (Audio)

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.This episode explores Manufacturing Consent by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky as a systems-level examination of how mass media operates within economic, political, and institutional constraints.The book introduces a propaganda model that explains how ownership structures, advertising dependence, and official sourcing shape news coverage long before audiences encounter it. By distinguishing between “worthy” and “unworthy” victims, media systems narrow the range of acceptable debate and reinforce dominant narratives while marginalizing dissent.📺 Watch the Deep Dive and Mini Explainer on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/GlhERDq3byM❤️ Support Crisis in Perception on Patreon:👉 https://patreon.com/CrisisInPerceptionAuthor Support LineIf these ideas resonate, consider reading the book yourself or borrowing it from your local library.
