Klappentext zu „The Myth of the Liberal Media “
The Myth of the Liberal Media contends that the mainstream media are parts of a market system and that their performance is shaped primarily by proprietor/owner and advertiser interests. Using a propaganda model, it is argued that the commercial media protect and propagandize for the corporate system. Case studies of major media institutions-the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Philadelphia Inquirer-are supplemented by detailed analyses of "word tricks and propaganda" and the media's treatment of topics such as Third World elections, the Persian Gulf War, the North American Free Trade Agreement, the fall of Suharto, and corporate junk science.

Pressezitat
«Edward Herman's invaluable studies of the media in market-oriented democracies find their natural place in the broader sweep of contemporary history.Herman quotes James Madison's observation in later life that 'a popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or tragedy, or perhaps both'. The observation is apt; formal guarantees of personal freedom do not suffice to prevent the farce or the tragedy, even if the guarantees are observed. These issues, explored and illuminated in (these) essays..., should be at the center of the concerns of those who seek to create a society that is more free and more just.» (From the Preface by Noam Chomsky)
