Reading is a recent development for me in the grand scheme of things, dyslexia meant I was hindered till I was about 18, picking up my first actual book 1984 at the age of 24.
10 years later I read roughly 3 books a year.
Currently reading Manufacturing Consent and whilst I knew news media is often misleading, to what extent was not clear sadly I now know the extent.
I’d like to have a conversation about Manufacturing Consent and what people have come away with. Other books too like Bullshit Jobs and Ordinary Men were big shift for my world view, so talking about and recommendations of similar books as well please.
This is the kind of book conservatives correctly identify as engendering hate for America. After reading this one, I saw the value of just burning it all down.
Personally I was just happy that at least someone was talking about these things.
