Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass MediaIn this pathbreaking work, Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky show that, contrary to the usual image of the news media as cantankerous, obstinate, and ubiquitous in their search for truth and defense of justice, in their actual practice they defend the economic, social, and political agendas of the privileged groups that dominate domestic society, the state, and the global order. Based on a series of case studies including the media's dichotomous

In this pathbreaking work, Edward S. Herman and Noam Chomsky show that, contrary to the usual image of the news media as cantankerous, obstinate, and ubiquitous in their search for truth and defense of justice, in their actual practice they defend the economic, social, and political agendas of the privileged groups that dominate domestic society, the state, and the global order.

Based on a series of case studies--including the media's dichotomous treatment of "worthy" versus "unworthy" victims, "legitimizing" and "meaningless" Third World elections, and devastating critiques of media coverage of the U.S. wars against Indochina--Herman and Chomsky draw on decades of criticism and research to propose a Propaganda Model to explain the media's behavior and performance. Their new introduction updates the Propaganda Model and the earlier case studies, and it discusses several other applications. These include the manner in which the media covered the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement and subsequent Mexican financial meltdown of 1994-1995, the media's handling of the protests against the World Trade Organization, World Bank, and International Monetary Fund in 1999 and 2000, and the media's treatment of the chemical industry and its regulation. What emerges from this work is a powerful assessment of how propagandistic the U.S. mass media are, how they systematically fail to live up to their self-image as providers of the kind of information that people need to make sense of the world, and how we can understand their function in a radically new way.

Brightens, doesn't firm
Color: Cyano Pink Spicule
I've been using this for about a month now, every night on my face and neck, hoping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and tighten some of my skin in that area that seems to be losing elasticity. On my neck, I've honestly noticed no real difference in 4 weeks of continued, consistent daily use. The skin on my face does seem brighter and somewhat less textured than before, but I haven't noticed any change in the issues I was hoping this would resolve, based on the claims and how it was marketed. So... not a bad addition to my skincare, but not the solution I was looking for. Some have expressed concerns about it tingling or stinging... You can feel something when you apply it, it's almost like the feeling of static electricity, but it's very mild. I wouldn't let that stop you from giving it a try if you were concerned about it. It didn't cause my sensitive skin any breakouts or redness (although I was applying it at night before bed, so perhaps any redness was calmed overnight). I'm going to go ahead and finish the bottle, but based on these results, I probably won't repurchase.

Really enjoying this product - Big confidence boost
Size: 2.02 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I was a little skeptical at first.. I saw a different brand of cyperusrotundus oil circulating on tik tok and was super interested in a natural remedy to treat facial hair. I did some digging and tested this one. I’ve been using it for about a month and I have to say I notice such a big difference in the texture of the skin on my face. I’ve seen some significant improvement in facial hair growth overall!! Im hoping with prolonged use, it will make an even bigger impact - but so far I am very pleased! I use it 2x a day and I’ve been feeling more confident! Would definitely suggest trying this!

Does work
Size: 2.02 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've been using this oil for 3 weeks on my face and do see a difference in hair growth. I am an older female and it seems to slow the growth on my face especially on my chin and upper lip. I mix a couple of drops with my moisturizer in the morning and use it alone at night. It does make my face feel soft and rubs in nicely and not greasy.
