Upon its original publication in 1993, this book reaffirmed Chomsky's status as one of the most incisive critics of the American media. Reissued with a new foreword by Chomsky's long-term collaborator, radio broadcaster David Barsamian, this prescient book remains startlingly relevant in our current age of disinformation and 'fake news'.
