  • The first two chapters of Manufacturing Consent have a bit of media analysis about how the US cares more about deaths abroad that fit a narrative vs deaths of citizens in places it’s trying to colonise, or the whole media ploy to say the guy that shot the pope was a Russian asset.

    But the chapters on Indochina are really upsetting because it just lists warcrime after warcrime and the grand media strategy was to just not report on it. Even as the rulers of other countries begged the world to help them and make it stop, the media just lied or ignored them. It’s not quite Citations Needed: The Book like I expected, and for worse reasons than I anticipated.
