@dbessner Criticizing Chomsky & Manufacturing Consent because mass media is losing its grip over the American populace, to me, is like critizing an automobile owner’s manual because the car no longer works
@dbessner Been many, many years since I read it but still just by memory I am pretty sure that early in Manufacturing Consent, Chomsky and Herman take pains to remark that their analysis is *not* meant to say anything about its effectiveness.
@dbessner the book’s subtitle is ���The Political Economy of Mass Media” or something like that: it’s offering a model to understand mass media’s function in our society.
Von Miller having more yards carrying the ball than Derrick Henry in a half is a solid strategy & I endorse the Bills sticking with it in the 2nd half
Josh Allen finds Amari Cooper for the TD on a 30-yard pass.
That marks Allen's 40th total TD this season, making him the first player in NFL history with five consecutive 40+ TD seasons.
