Herman and Chomsky's Propaganda Model, Pt. 2: An In-Depth Explanation

This video is Part 2 of a basic explanation of Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky's Propaganda Model. In their 1988 book, Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media, they outline 5 filters that critique “the political economy of the mass media", namely that the mass media give the illusion that they are a neutral and democratic enterprise but, in reality, their primary function is to mobilize support for special interests that dominate government and the private sector.

you really did a good job explaining the topic, thank you!

I believe your comments on "audiences may reject mass mediated propaganda..." should not be
included/considered as the content and subject matter of the book was how the public is domesticated and manipulated. Another point I would like to make is the "powerful elite" own the media. Otherwise I thought your summary was well done.
