Herman notes that Posada was fingered for being behind the blowing up of the Cuban airliner in Venezuela in 1976 which killed 73 and escaped as he was about to go on trial for a fourth time after getting acquitted three times on technicalities.
Herman says yes it did bring him down but it was the economic crises created by the free-flow of speculative funds into the country along with concomitant reckless lending and then the sudden flight of those funds,in other words free-flow of capital, which created the economic crises which brought Suharto down.
Herman writes that the mass media in America represent "the triumph and consolidation of market failure." That is to say, competition for ratings leads media companies to feature sex and violence and all sorts of "light fare." A loss of a single rating point can lead to a rush of advertisers to other stations.

Edward S. Herman is professor of Finance at the Wharton School, Univ. of Pennsylvania and a columnist for Z Magazine; he has written a number of books on foreign & mass media.
The centerpiece of Herman's persuasive thesis is the necessary interdependence between the success of the development model these authoritarian regimes pursue and the terrorism of the masses they unleash.
Herman shows how the triumph of the market in the post-Cold War world order means the further commodifications of culture, atrophying of political debate and political options, greater subservience of the media to state and corporate interests, and global polarization of income, wealth, and power.

Clinton, Herman argues, "failed to test the potential of liberalism and populism." But Clinton did "test" this potential with several initiatives, chief among them his effort to provide universal health care coverage.

 Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media by Edward S. Herman
Herman and Chomsky claim this focus was hypocritical considering the conditions in nearby El Salvador and Guatemala, both ruled by American-supported military governments.
Herman and Chomsky identify three major forces creating such a propaganda-prone media bias; first, the motivation for profit via the device of advertising; second, the fact that the media is embedded within, and controlled by, corporations whose views are predictably pro-business; and third, the near-exclusive use of information coming from highly biased sources.
Herman and Chomsky have a strongly researched thesis that they call the Propaganda Model, and they apply it well to case studies in which the mass media have been found to distort the truth behind major stories to cater to elite interests.

Herman of Wharton and Chomsky of MIT lucidly document their argument that America's government and its corporate giants exercise control over what we read, see and hear.
What emerges from this work is a powerful assessment of how propagandistic the U.S. mass media are, how they systematically fail to live up to their self-image as providers of the kind of information that people need to make sense of the world, and how we can understand their function in a radically new way.

 THE PROPAGANDA MODEL: A RETROSPECTIVE BY EDWARD S. HERMAN
By the logic of this form of criticism of the propaganda model, the fact that many Soviet citizens did not swallow the lines put forward by Pravda demonstrates that Pravda was not serving a state propaganda function.
Although industry denials of harm from its products--from lead in gasoline to asbestos and Agent Orange--and fraudulent testing have been notorious for many years, the media still use the phrase 'junk science' to refer to the science employed by environmentalists and lawyers suing the industry on behalf of its victims, not that sponsored by industry.

 Re: Stacy Sullivan on Milosevic and Genocide By Edward S. Herman
Then comes '98-'99 and the Nato Kosovo campaign, and Prof Herman discovers the "Cruise Missile Left" and Prof Chomsky writes of the "New Military Humanism" (which wasn't all that new if you were a Serb in the Former Yugoslavia) and they both discovered that there's, well, *media bias* against the Serbs.
But back to Herman et al, I guess the lesson for the Serbs in all this is that it required a "decent interval" for the Movement's distinguished critics of Western intervention to take a close interest in their case.

EDWARD S. Edward Herman has requested space on our website for a longer version of this letter, below.
Whether Herman is a pacifist or not I neither know nor care: that he isn't an ally in battles against fascism is already notorious.
Herman misses the point and the joke, and I would put this down to his customary sloppiness if it wasn't that, in his other misrepresentations of my published views on Ashcroftism, he seems to be actuated by malice as well.

With his long-time collaborator Edward Herman, Chomsky found the Western media and its alleged differential treatment of atrocities in Cambodia versus East Timor, a convenient Trojan horse for a new wave of attacks on "imperialism" at the expense, of course, of the peasants he loved.
Chomsky and Herman were, of course, quick to point out that they were not dismissing refugee accounts outright, merely that great "care and caution" had to be used whenever refugees were involved.
