CHOMSKY, NOAM. — Necessary Illusions. Thought Control in Democratic Societies.

London: Pluto Press, 1995. 0745303803. " 'Necessary Illusions' explodes the myth of an independent media, intent on uncovering the truth at any cost. Noam Chomsky demonstrates that, in practice, the media in the developed world serve the interests of state and corporate power - despite protestations to the contrary. While individual journalists strive to abide by high standards of professionalism and integrity in their work, their paymasters - the media corporations - ultimately decide what we view, hear and read." Pp.viii/422. Paperback, some creasing to spine.G+.
