Noam Chomsky's "Manufacturing Consent" Makes No Mention Of The CIA's Influence In The Media; Why?

Chomsky never mentions the CIA/FBI penetration of the media in his most famous work Manufacturing Consent this is very suspicious because Chomsky has said in other places that the United States media is not like the media of "totalitarian states" like the Soviet Union. Chomsky is trying to make the United States look better than the Soviets. When the truth of the matter is the United States was just as bad, if not worse because the totalitarian nature of the state media was cloaked.

One can now look at Chomsky's body of work and conclude that he was/is a deep cover agent of the government. Chomsky gives himself away in the subtleties.

Here is a list of things I find suspicious about Chomsky:

  1. Worked for the Pentagon. (He probably still does)
  2. He supports the official story on the Kennedy Assassination. 
  3. He supports the official story on 9-11. 
  4. He supported the dismantling of Yugoslavia. 
  5. No mention of CIA/FBI penetration of the media in Manufacturing Consent . http://www.carlbernstein.com/magazine_cia_and_media.php
  6. Uses empty phrases such as "state capitalism." 
  7. This one comes from Michael Parenti, "Chomsky has never offered a clear explication of his anarcho-libertarian- socialist ideology. That is to say, he has never explained to us how it would manifest itself in organized political struggle or actual social construction." 
  8. In fact Chomsky has never responded to any of the criticisms laid at his feet by Parenti. 
  9. In The Cultural Cold War Frances Stonor Saunders gave us the history of how the CIA courted intellectuals like AJ Ayers and Bertrand Russell to write anti-Communist propaganda. The CIA used these intellectuals to promote a Non Communist Left. Chomsky definitely fits in with the likes of Russell who could also be critical of American foreign policy. Chomsky has all the earmarks of being part of this Non Communist Left.
