Oliver's finest
I've not read any Noam Chomsky, so I've also never read any of Oliver Kamm's posts on him. However today's caught my eye as it is called 'Chomsky's Finest', and is about an interview [sound clip] in which Chomsky talks about the 2004 Presidential election.Listening to it I'm not sure I accept Oliver's description of it, but more worrying is this analysis. Oliver quotes Chomsky:
The most prestigious institutions that monitor public opinion came out with extensive studies related to the election. Right before the election, this October
and says:
Needless to say, Chomsky does not divulge the identity of the prestigious institutions that made this remarkable discovery, which remains a closely-guarded secret
which is weird, as I heard quite clearly Chomsky give the two names of the organisations in answer to a question asking for them, Chicago Council on Foreign Relations and Programme of International Policy Attitudes.
I make no claims about the quality or reputation of either institute, but Chomsky clearly said them.
