Manufacturing Consent

 We have no way of differentiating a reliable source from a faulty one in this era. The media portrays coverage in so many different way that we have no way f knowing which to believe. The main source of information we are turn to is written by manipulative human beings such as ourselves who have the will to lean a topic towards their own opinion versus keeping the purest source out for display. Chomsky has acknowledged this issue and referred to it a a manufactured consent. The media has been leading are lives through depictions they create or they feel would be a necessary topic and rather than question authority we just mosey along and believe every word. We would believe everything that comes out of an acquaintances mouth so why believe all media coverage? They are no different from you and I. The media is entitled to an opinion just as we are and this will be the foundation of their coverage of informal and instead of acknowledging this we just give them our consent to listen.
