Jack White Wrote:Why does ANYBODY care what Noam Chomsky thinks?Good question Jack; but the cold hard fact is that they do. That Zwicker piece is spot on about the esteem in which he is held by the broad political Left. One of the few organisations I support financially (Media Lens) is besotted with his analysis of the way that the MSM is suborned to Establishment agendas - etc etc. He has achieved High Priest status for many who, in most respects are pre-disposed to distrust and oppose the established order. It is that status that makes him so dangerous to the prospects of real change and thus an obvious potential asset to those determined to prevent it.

I found the Zwicker analysis of 'Conspiracy theory' compelling too. It summarises the discussion on DPF a year ago about how to deal with the term here
