Dutch historian Rutger Bregman's (un-aired) appearance on Tucker Carlson sparked outrage in Carlson and an opportunity to highlight how money controls the narrative in mainstream news.
Abstract:
--
Excerpt:
Chomsky's phrase, 'if you believe something different, you wouldn't be sitting where you're sitting' sums up the propaganda system of the corporate media. What Tucker Carlson appears not to understand is that he has 'total freedom' to say what he likes on Fox News because he has shown that he can be trusted to remain within acceptable limits. He has obviously never heard Noam Chomsky explain how it works. Nor does he seem to be familiar with US critic Michael Parenti whose riposte to the proud boast by many a corporate journalist that 'nobody tells me what to say or write' was: "You say what you like, because they like what you say."
