The Propaganda Model: Behind the News. PART 1

Manufacturing Consent: Unmasking Media Power" takes a deep dive into the hidden forces shaping the news you consume. Based on Noam Chomsky and Edward S. Herman's groundbreaking analysis, this podcast explores the propaganda model of media, revealing how corporate interests, political agendas, and economic power drive the content we see every day. Each episode unpacks how major media outlets filter and frame news to serve the elites, often at the expense of truth and public interest. We’ll look at historical case studies—from the Vietnam War to modern political events—and discuss how media control influences everything from elections to international conflicts. We also explore the evolving role of the internet, questioning whether it can truly democratize information or if powerful corporations will continue to dominate the digital landscape. Tune in to understand how the media works, who it serves, and how it shapes the world around you.
