Chomsky has changed his mind about social media slightly; he is all over youtube and it's a joy to see him here. He has an intellectual's perspective from even before the 2nd world war. He saw it all happen and he was observing it intelligently and perceptively. He is an international treasure.

Then he sold the publishing house to another company that lacked distribution facilities, effectively killing it. The book later came out in expanded form as the first volume of The Political Economy of Human Rights ("The Washington Connection and Third World Fascism," it's called, published by South End Press.)

I'm not sure he was belittling a genocide. I believe what he was saying is that it was an atrocity, which it was, but saying it was genocide comes with some specific conditions. In this case, women and children were driven out or allowed to escape. Within the conditions of genocide would be indiscriminate killing of a race or group of people, including women, children, elderly (like the Holocaust, which he mentions as a analogue). Allowing anyone to escape doesn't meet this condition. So, IMO, he was saying it was a terrible atrocity, but saying it was genocide is inaccurate and inadvertently diminished the real impact of actual genocides that have been carried out.

Chomsky has an inexhaustible supply of information. Even sympathetic interviewers like Mike Albert (Z Communications) have to head him off when he goes into superfluous detail, or what they think is superfluous detail, because time is limited and they want to pick Chomsky's brain on a certain number of topics. Chomsky is capable of talking for hours on a single topic.

i scrolled down to the comments hoping to see this already said

His intellectual integrity is one to be admired, of course! I think there is balance to be had re emotional uplifting and critical thought. Perhaps Professor Chomsky is displaying an honourable limitation in perspective due to his position of intellectual high standing *irony* - as much as I do respect it. But some things are a necessary evil and one must work with the framework that is in place. Had Martin Luther King not approached things as he did, I doubt progress would have been the success it was. I think.

Growing up prior to the internet in a small southern city, the only publication critical of government that I had easy access to was a rightwing racist rag sold in gas stations. It blamed rich Jews for pretty much everything. I still bought it and read it with fascination because I had nothing else. So for me the internet was a very big deal. It is true there is a lot of garbage available online as well as in gas stations, so source evaluation was one of the first skills I taught my child.

If institutional analysis does not account for the intellectual culture's conformity of bias, then what does? Also interesting that Chomsky says the NYT has the broadest coverage when he has many times previously pointed to things not reported in the US press.

I don't see it that way, and I think you're a bit paranoid. I think they are quite conscious of the kinds of questions they ask for instance. The questions are designed to voice Chomsky's detractors, or to replicate the kinds of critiques someone might have. It allows Chomsky to defend his points in this way and ultimately if it gets him to talk and elaborate his knowledge than that's a pretty good question in my opinion. Challenging questions are good questions.
