‘Today
…….. it is almost axiomatic that that in ‘free market’
democracies, public opinion is manufactured just like any other mass market
product – soap, switches or sliced bread.
In the
‘free’ market, free speech has (also) become a commodity like
everything else……available only to those who can afford it.
This weeks Green Thought is taken from ‘The
Loneliness of Noam Chomsky’ by Arundhati Roy (2003) ); the forward to the
2003 reprint of Noam Chomsky’s 1973 book For
Reasons of State.
