Reply to Kurt and Gladys Engel Lang

Abstract

A commentary on Kurt Lang and Gladys Engel Lang’s “Noam Chomsky and the Manufacture of Consent for American Foreign Policy,” which appears in this issue, is presented. The writers, including Chomsky himself, answer some of the Langs’ criticisms of Chomsky’s propaganda model of communication; as well as some of their other erroneous interpretations of Chomsky’s work.
