   Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media
   (Mark Achbar & Peter Wintonick, 1992)

   Three hour film with talks, interviews, and debates with Noam
   Chomsky. A good film to see if you are interested in learning about
   Chomsky. Showing the media is biased and some critics are idiots who
   never even read Chomsky's writing (easily demonstrated and pretty
   entertaining). But not a substitute for the facts and research of
   his books. Reveals one of his persistent problems: blandly equating
   socialist and imperialist power without regard to their contents. As
   an anarchist, he believes that anyone holding power is evil. For
   Chomsky there are no relative advances. He is an idealist and so
   everything is either perfect or it is wrong; no workable solutions,
   but good exposure of the imperialists, and especially their media.
