Here is a more academic review of your famous Chomsky’s propaganda Model found in your choice of his “empirical work.”

“The method sounds scientific except that Chomsky selected his cases (and his data) to make a political point while a lack of information on sampling, coding procedures, and so forth raises questions not so much about the existence of bias in any particular case, but about the viability of a model about “the media” in general based on anecdotal evidence.”

“Chomsky perceives the American media in their entirety as so intrinsically elitist that they “yield a propaganda result that a totalitarian state would be hard put to surpass. The last judgment strains credulity because it obliterates all distinctions in the degree of openness.”

“The reappearance of Chomsky—if that’s what it is—on the public stage is less as a media scholar with a new seminal theoretical model than as a political activist promulgating his political doctrine.”
