  Amazon.ca: The Myth of the Liberal Media: An Edward Herman Reader: Books: Edward S. Herman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
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.

Herman and Chomsky's fourth filter is the development of right-wing corporate "flak" producers such as Accuracy in Media to harass the mass media and to put pressure upon them to follow the corporate agenda.

 TAP: Vol 6, Iss. 21. Clinton's Not-So-Good Deeds. Edward S. Herman and Richard Rothstein.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
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.
Herman asserts that "deficit-cutting is a conservative objective, pressed on Clinton by the financial community." Perhaps Herman's post-Keynesian economic theory argues that deficits should never be cut, even during economic expansion.
Herman states that deficit reduction comes at the expense of higher employment.

Continuing in this same vein, Chomsky and Herman attempt to downplay the significance of child labor by claiming that "vocational training" for twelve-year-old children is "not generally regarded as an atrocity in a poor peasant society."(90) The argument is a waste of ink.

Not content merely to oppose the NATO bombing campaign against Serbia, Herman moved on to portraying the Milosevic regime as the victim of "a war of aggression and vengeance by imperialist bullies." In mounting his defense of Milosevic, Herman was not above likening NATO's military efforts against Serb forces to the terrorism tactics of al-Qaeda.
In 1995, Herman founded the Srebrenica Research Group to cast doubt on the Srebrenica massacre, the 1995 slaughter of some 8,000 Bosnian males by Serbian paramilitary forces.

Shamir writes cirtically of Jews in a manner that's outside the so-called 'Mainstream (read: acceptable) opinion.' Herman is not as critical and I believe is like his colleage Mr.
People will read that and believe that Herman has the same views towards Jews as Shamir's when a look at the actual quote will demonstrate that that is not the case.

 Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media by Edward S. Herman
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.
Here it is evident that Herman and Chomsky wish to provide an alternative history of the Indochina Wars in order to make political statements, under the pretense of presenting evidence that was withheld by the biased media.

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.

Edward S. Herman is Professor Emeritus at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.
The propaganda model is dealing with extraordinarily complex sets of events, and only claims to offer a broad framework of analysis that requires modification depending on many local and special factors, and may be entirely inapplicable in some cases.
In some ways what Chomsky and Herman describe is so straightforward that it ought to be beyond dispute rather than half hyped only to be dissed in the same breath.

 Amazon.com: The Myth of the Liberal Media: An Edward Herman Reader: Books: Edward S. Herman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Herman isn't nearly as biting, but he explores aspects of our media culture that Alterman didn't delve into as deeply, especially the lust for ratings that shapes the information so many Americans base their views on.
Herman also manages to avoid the frequent pot-shots at Limbaugh and Company that Alterman was so fond of, which keeps the narrative on the issue at hand, rather than veering off into tweaking-the-nose territory.
Other topics - television 'debates' between hard-line firebreathing conservatives and weak-kneed moderates posing as liberals - are old hat, but worth reading for those new to the discussion.
