Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media is a book by Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky, first published in 1988.

The documentary film Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, directed by Mark Achbar and Peter Wintonick was based in part on Chomsky and Herman's work; the remainder of the film serves as a biography of Chomsky.

On January 20, 2005, justices K A Abdul Gafoor and R Basant of the Kerala high court exonerated all but one of the 36 accused in the case.

But it might also help to consider the legacy of leftist manufacture of consent, and before that the Hegelian candidate as it courted the Prussian world of the Restoration, leading into the stand up/sit down dialectic over ideology in the generation of Marx, at once exposing capitalist mystification, then crystallizing into 'late Hegelian' economism.
