Thread: Noam Chomsky

The single most important author from the other side of the pond at present, well, at least that I have heard of...
He has his place amongst European critical thinkers, not sure about the mainstream media.

Chomsky, recently voted the world's top living intellectual, is virtually banned by the American mass media. Despite his vast knowledge of political issues and his great speaking ability, he is never seen on the numerous television talk shows. Those time slots are reserved for such mental giants as Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly. Many Americans haven't even heard of Noam Chomsky.

Never fear, we've heard of him too well.
Reason he's not on the talk shows is he's basically a Marxist who loathes his own country. He's too much for even CNN or Oberman on MSNBC.

p.s. this thread should engender some lively 'conversation', Milkman!
