0:00 - Introduction
1:25 - Lesson 1: The elite ruling class control what news the media covers.
3:11 - Lesson 2: Advertiser interests govern what the news shares because of their payments to news stations.
5:05 - Lesson 3: The upper class pays for experts to share their skewed findings on media outlets.

In this pathbreaking work, now with a new introduction, Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky show that, contrary to the usual image of the news media as cantankerous, obstinate, and ubiquitous in their search for truth and defense of justice, in their actual practice they defend the economic, social, and political agendas of the privileged groups that dominate domestic society, the state, and the global order.
