The statement “Propaganda is to democracy what violence is to a dictatorship." that Chomsky made means to me that proganda is major part in a demcracy just like violence is an important part to a dictatorship. Im not sayng that it is good but it takes a major role in it. When you are able to have free speech there will be propaganda because people will want to show there opinion and to put the other persons opinion down. Just like in a dictatorship people become mad and rise against the goverment because they want freedom.
Reveiw of Movie
The movie Manufacturing Consent is a documentary on Norm Chomsky and his ideas about the mass media. In the movie he talks about the media is driven to make a profit and to compete with other forms of media. Such as in advertising, one company puts out an ad to show how good their product is and how it is better then the other advertisers product. It also shows how the media tries to keep out things that may hurt the economy that helps drive the media. Such as in the east Timor incident that many people didnt know about because the media kept away from the publics eyes. Thats because the U.S. and other countries were helping the people occupying the country, and the media helped keep this incident out of the public eyes because many people would have been agaisnt this. one last major thing this movie talks about is how that media is driven for profit, so if they have to slant the media to their opinion or to a way that pleases the public then the media will. This is what Chomsky calls the propaganda model.
