Noam Chomsky – The 5 Filters of the Mass Media Machine

1. Anyone who thinks the east is better than the West needs to tell me why so many people leave the east for the west. They also need to go live in the east for 10 or 20 years, then come back and tell us how they feel then.

2. this is true of ALL information sources…

3. All of this sounds like propaganda ngl

4. I’ve credited Al Jazeera and posted this on TikTok and of my 1000 odd followers I’ve got under 250 views. I think this needs to be shown at least once to every voter in America. How do I do that?

5. Like climate change, it is probably going to cause societal collapse but we are covering it up.

6. Bro described themselves

7. Bangers gonna bang! This one no different.

8. Instesting how both Chomsky and Goodman turned their backs on everything thing they were saying in this video and even supported the same propaganda machine they described here during the pandemic.

9. I'm surprised Al Jazeera is still allowed to be here.

   I mean Tiktok is about get get banned. Russia Today is already banned. A large number of both right wing and left wing voices critcal of the status quoe have either been banned or shadow banned. I know there are some people in power who would love to shut Al Jazeera down.

10. love this video

11. Now the enemy is both fascism and communism. The woke and the anti woke.

    There is no side to stand on.

12. The US is the most propagandized / brainwashed nation on Earth. Sad but true.

13. IT'S LIKE, POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK..😂

14. the genocide happening in palestine is a perfect example of this. the mainstream news outlets are doing some of the most disgusting propaganda i've ever seen for israel. thousands of children and women killed and pretty much doing a checklist of all the war crimes they can do and the mainstream news still covers for israel with how they report and label events, the use of passive voice and lack of blame put on israel is disgusting. by far the worst thing i've seen in my lifetime.

15. This 5 filter happening every day & now.. What a masterpiece by the greatest living mind of our age

16. good video ironic its being funded by the Qatari government

17. he said that the media make a common enemy ….
    so |$|$ are good people and the media of all countries were ling on us all the time?

18. Simply put they are first profiteers and second propagandists. You should never shed a tear for any of them.

19. Absolutely true

20. Nnoan chomsky animation

21. I had to pay YouTube to avoid ads in this video.

22. Right now consent is being manufactured without our consent. We call their BS and they pretend we're not here.

23. my autist brain is hurt seeing those images

24. omg this is one of the best animation i have seen on manufacturing concent

25. нифига казахстан

26. I think, therefor I am.

27. The difference with democratic societies being that you are free to make a judgement about what is critically valid media, even if it is hard to find. In totalitarian regimes, there is no choice about what you hear.

28. We need RT back in EU

29. Very good animations

30. I love the the first line immediately under the video "Al Jazeera is funded in whole or in part by the Qatari government."

31. Yeah, but not always. This is lumping all journalism together and painting it with a broad brush. The same sin it’s condemning. Not all journalists are part of a big conspiracy. There are individuals who do real investigative journalism and aren’t part of the MSM. And no, it’s not far right Idiots like Breitbart or whatever it’s spawned. That’s just another conglomeration of propaganda. I mean REAL journalism. People out there on the front lines.

32. For some reason I have a desire to purchase boots.

33. Can l have your consent, to open this amp? No b***h, you dont #

34. Thanks for informing us about propaganda, with propaganda. This is the most hypocritical thing I’ve ever seen. It blatantly serves Al Jazeera’s narrative. Why don’t you people actually report on human rights conditions in Doha?

35. Excellent — but that was Amy Goodman narrating? Didn't sound like a real voice, maybe partly because of the music, and maybe she sounds like a chatbot or something. Anyway, brilliant!

37. At least a news channel that is not hiding about proganada. While other makes them on daily basis, west.

38. A anti western media seditionist talking about media sedition. 😂

39. 3:32 4:04

40. I think the animation, as well done as it is, degrades the message in terms of "reality."

41. This is a very good video

42. Bravo!

43. the music needed to be like 30% quieter, it was drowning out the speech

44. so it's the consumers of information who have the ultimate say, do I accept this as truth or do i look elsewhere for it?
