Okay, there’s a catch–it was on the letters page.
Still, it was a surprise to see Noam Chomsky’s name in the Newspaper of Record. In a joint letter from Howard Friel and Chomsky’s longtime co-author Edward Herman, readers were exposed to an argument mostly unheard in the media frenzy for military strikes in Iraq and Syria: Such strikes are illegal under the United Nations charter.
US media don’t spend much time dwelling on the requirements of international law, which is why the letter was so important.
As the press pushes for more war, FAIR wants to be here to fight back. We need your help today.
If you can donate $30 or more, we will send you Masters of Mankind, a new collection of Chomsky’s articles and talks that spans the last several decades. It’s a compact book packed with the radical insight and analysis you have come to expect from one of the giants of progressive media criticism.
Chomsky’s keen eye for unpacking propaganda has inspired FAIR for almost 30 years. In 2014, FAIR is reaching more readers, listeners and viewers than ever.
But we need your help to keep up the fight. Please donate today.
P.S. You can send us a check if you’d prefer:

My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a number of websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard very good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!|
I like that one: “US media don’t spend much time dwelling on the requirements of international law, which is why the letter was so important.” Hope to be true…
very interesting article for the New York Times
