I watched chomsky's manufacturing consent last night ... it's not bad but it's pretty shoddily put together. There's three messages mixed a little incoherently and it's a bit self indulgent at times. His debating scenes are quite good though At the end he concludes the only possible solution is to have an anarchist societal structure with free interactions. that's just a stupid thing to say even if he believes it... He makes a movie with some interesting ideas, presenting a different view on how society is structured to favour a privileged few and that the media we trust to inform us is actually a tool of manipulation.
But at the end he presents a false dichotomy that harms his credibility (and self confessed capacity for analysis) and saves his the detractors the trouble of exagerrating his position so that they can redicule it.
This is well worth watching but I feel it could have been even better ...
