…媒体是靠广告资助的，因此自然而然会倒向商业精英的利益。这就是我们在民主社会中受到思想控制的原因。大量案例可以参考《制造共识》（Manufacturing Consent）和《必要的幻觉》（Necessary Illusions）。非常棒的书。还可以看看 Alex Carey 关于企业宣传的著作《把风险从民主中剔除》（Taking the Risk Out of Democracy）。
…media is funded through advertising which then naturally biases it towards the interests of the business elite. That is how we get thought control in a democratic society. See Manufacturing Consent and Necessary Illusions for numerous cases. Wonderful books. See also Alex Carey's work on corporate propaganda, Taking the Risk Out of Democracy.

…淹没媒体，因此尽管大多数科学家的看法并非如此，公众的认知却会充满困惑和疑虑。这算是一种众所周知的策略。（乔姆斯基的《必要的幻觉》（Necessary Illusions）就是讲这个的一本好书。）说实话，我曾经也是个气候变化怀疑论者，我的一位朋友也是。我们当时都是等离子体物理方向的博士生，做核聚变研究。所以这显然存在某种脱节…

…用数据说话。这种断言客观上极其荒谬。他的著作大量引用了一手信源。他每本书里通常都有几百条脚注。《制造共识》（Manufacturing Consent）和《必要的幻觉》（Necessary Illusions）只是他采用科学、不带意识形态色彩的方法进行政治分析的两个例子。他在书中对比分析了美国媒体对类似国际事件的报道方式——看看对待盟友和对待敌人有何不同…
