After watching the movie "Manufactoring Concent" about Noam Chomskys interpretation of media and propaganda i have alot of new views on the media that we see everday of our lives. Noam brought up a lot of interesting views and issues on media. It is obvious that people who produce media somtimes " more than often" skip parts or tell in a biased way. Why this i, is still a good question because there are many explanations for this. Maby its because it is more expensive to cover certain issues than others, or maby its because they want to use articles that will get most attention to give them a better profit. When Noam said propaganda is to democracy as violence is to a dictatorship. I think that he was saying that dictators use viloence to get their points/ rules across and warps the thinking of people under him. and democracy needs propaganda to change peoples minds and voters so that candidats will get more followers or issues will get more people to support somthing.
