Why Propaganda Works & The Great Question of Our Time | Noam Chomsky

5

Professor Noam Chomsky explains why propaganda works so well in our modern society and raises one of the most important questions of our time. It's a clip from the classic documentary Manufacturing Consent. Watch the full film here. 

In Part 2, another variation of this clip is used, with additional footage added regarding the successful campaign by the Bush Administration to manipulate public consciousness to build support for war, setting up Iraq and Iran as phantom enemies of the U.S., when our true motivations remain obscured by patriotic and fear-based illusions.
