Agreed. I see this as a continuation of the media's scope of attack prior to the election. Noam isn't the great authority that people want to make him out to be. He's been way off track on issues before. He is however a compassionate man in general. It's that aspect of his character that draws people. One thing that I took note of in particular was Noam's comment that journalists should be protected. Fine, no problem.....now define what constitutes a journalist. Many of those in the cable news media don't meet the grade. the interviewer in this video is questionable as to his qualifications.

I suspect that part of the issue with this interview is that the host wants quick soundbites for complex answers - he's not going to get that from Chomsky. Secondly, Chomsky doesn't tolerate false assumptions or misinformation, he will correct any interviewer as we saw in this segment. Thirdly, it's this interviewer's style - very quick, aggressive and tends to ask leading questions. That's fine when dealing w/ a shifty politician, but Chomsky never dodges, he always replies with an answer, often supported w/ facts.

As a tip for the future, please stop cutting off the person you are interviewing. I know you want to have a conversation, but people want to listen to him.

I agree with Dr. Chomsky about everything but the US assassination campaign. It is not designed to terrify a population, but rather to disorganize the terrorist organizations that DO commit acts designed to sow terror in populations.

This was a great video. Why? I've never seen such a case where the interviewee calmly got his point across on every topic in spite of countless attempts on the part of the interviewer to steer answers in a certain direction. It would have been a disaster if Chomsky had been flustered into losing track of his points and led off topic, but he did not and thus was able to give his clear nuanced view of the world.

To the interviewer, when you are conversing with a Wise Man, speak seldom, listen intently, and don't interrupt his stream of consciousness with your limited understanding. In other words, why block the blessing.

Yes, the DNC was partly to blame for Trump's ascendancy, but to reduce it to that is simplistic. I think Chomsky made a very strong case for strategic support of Clinton in swing states only (on other occasions he has said those in red or blue states should vote for Stein). As bad as Clinton was, the fact remains that the with her election the human race still would have had a fighting chance to avoid catastrophic global burning. Due to Trump's victory, that possibility has become considerably more remote. Today it was announced that arctic temperatures ate 20 degrees C above normal levels for this time of year. This has the potential to trigger negative feedback loops that could have a profound and irreversible effect on global ecosystems very soon.

Chomsky's commentary is simply beyond the comprehension of the Trump voters, a substantial minority of America. They need not watch what they do not understand. It agitates them for reasons they know not what. Trump, for his own part, should watch this as a valuable primer of some foreign policy issues he will face as President. He may appreciate the enlightened appraisal.

Why was there so many comments bashing the interviewer? He did a great job. It's an interview, not a lecture. His job is to ask questions and challenge noam, and he did so, and he did it with respect. Which makes sense, because he obviously admires chomsky.

Chomsky's IQ is abnormally high. I wonder how much irony he used in his recommendation for people to use their critical faculties to analyse news etc. He had a deadpan expression - gotta luv him.

My experience is, amongst many other things, that it's best stay as far away from people who "enjoy politics" or are "employed by politics", they are the least reliable sources of informaiton, and have the strongest agendas to push (falsely believing that they are more supremely aware of 'what's good for America'--a large, diverse, spread out country). Only psychopaths are drawn into American-style "politics", and then once you add in the "fame" aspect, you get losers like Clinton and Trump, and Wasserman, and Gingrich, the list goes on and on. But you know what, those are only a few thousand people, and a few ten-thousand tops, same with the media, the raw numbers are actually tiny. There are far, far, far, far more level-headed, reasonable, non-narcissistic Americans than not. We'll just have to come up with newer, better forms of government, improving transparency and authenticity. Because the current one we have is proving itself absolutely obsolete, and even more plainly corrupt than ever. The right and the left, and the media in general have looked like completel fools this election cycle, and it's clear we're in the middle of late capitalism. I don't know what will come next, but it won't be capitalism as we currently know it, and it certainly will be sooner rather than later.

The greatest person ❤ 💖 💓 you and many more years of truths to people's of the world.

bad interviewer, yes, but still (or maybe because of that fact) this might be the most important 25 minutes that both Trump lovers and haters should watch. And interestingly, everything Chomsky said here is still accurate in 2020.

I highly value Chomsky's analysis. Hope he remains in good health for a few more years.

"He's basically a showman" So true. He's also like a spoiled child who's always gotten their way.
