Will you seriously post about how you haven't finished that book e v e r y d a y?

my mom thought that was a pua book about how to get chicks to consent to sex

she was like "oh maybe he's finally going to try to get laid!" im like sorry that's just a critique of bourgeois media and its role in american imperialism

should have killed my self a long time ago

I had the same experience.

Also basically Herman wrote the book and Chomsky had very little to do with it, but they put his name on big so it would sell easily.

You're better off with a summary of this book.

But I had 70 pages left and only read 20 before having to put it down. I thought I could read it all in one go but I just can't.

You think THAT'S tedious? Try - just TRY - getting through Syntactic Structures.

i couldn't read it at all, there's no point in reading chomsky pick apart new york times articles from 40 years ago when they new york times publishes new bullshit articles every day, just open up the paper and do your own analysis, i feel like that book is only relevant if you are really studying 20th century south east asia, or have never thought critically about the media before in your life

It's useful in the same way that the book that O'brien gives Smith in 1984 is useful, in that it verbalises, reinforces, and solidifies various intimations that you would have previously been too nervous to give too much thought to. Also, his case studies and the historical he uses in are extremely important, almost essential reading.
