I'll have to check it out. I'm a fan of Noam Chomksy (esp. in linguistics), I just don't agree with a lot of his political conclusions.

Manufacturing Consent is a seminal work and consists of actual "case studies" where they contrast the coverage of similar news events occurring in communists countries at the time vs countries/groups allied with the US. It's pretty eye opening.

It's still applicable today, maybe even moreso with the increasing rate of media consolidation.
