I think Corbett is (generally) overly analytical of specific details that suit his arguments and often fails to put them in context or present evidence that is contrary to his case. And his description of Noam Chomsky as being "quite intelligent" is simply laughable in its gaucheness and dilettantism.
Chomsky's comment about the Federal Reserve in that interview is entirely sensible from an economic pov and he even goes on to say that public ownership should still be a long-term goal. I think a lot of people on the left and / or in the truth movement have have an inbuilt problem with him because of his refusal to engage in conspiracy talk. I believe this is simply a desire to protect his professional reputation, rather than a reflection of his true thoughts or indication of a hidden agenda. Mark C Miller commented on this recently using the example of Naomi Kline and how in the The Shock Doctrine, she ably demonstrates the corruption of big business and government yet pulled her punch at the last minute and refused to entertain the idea that 9/11 was inside job because it would have been "professional suicide". It's simply the reality of being a professional writer/journalist in a corporate controlled world and the difference between being an online amateur like Corbett, who can call X, Y & Z pedophiles and get away with it.
