description: Filtering the News begins with a critical review and assessment of the propaganda model, then applies Herman and Chomsky's model to a range of ongoing news events including Bush's war propaganda machine and the American mainstream media; El Salvador and the question of intellectual responsibility; news coverage of near-genocide in occupied East Timor; media coverage of environment issues; and Dan Rather and the problem with patriotism and American journalism, post-9/11. In the closing chapter, Herman and Chomsky's propaganda model is revisited, and several common criticisms of the model are reflected upon and scrutinized.
