If you are teaching about #propaganda in 2023, you should not be using #Chomsky as the authority on propaganda or #disinformation. Plenty still are. This is unwise, not only because he’s been wrong about important world events. His model (led by Ed Herman actually) also just misunderstands what propaganda is, focusing on structural and political economy issues in #journalism in a way that conflates the majority journalism with propaganda (which is a deliberate activity). 1/

@emmalbriant Thanks for this, very helpful. My views are based on Jason Stanley's How Propaganda Works. How do you think it holds up?

@ChrisofAllTrades I think it’s an excellent book, although it’s a very different focus to that which I take myself. He focuses on power, language and rhetoric.
