You'll Never Think About Mass Media the Same Way Again After Watching This Noam Chomsky Documentary

http://www.alternet.org/media/youll-never-think-about-mass-media-same-way-again-after-watching-noam-chomsky-documentary

Who Owns the Media?

With the country’s widest disseminators of news, commentary and ideas firmly entrenched among a small number of the world’s wealthiest corporations, it may not be surprising that their news and commentary is limited to an unrepresentative narrow spectrum of politics.
––Ben Bagdikian, former dean of the Graduate School of Journalism, UC Berkeley
