I guess there is a more relevant foreword, yeah, but the main thing is that as a phrase I find it more precise and recognisable than 'inventing reality'. I love Parenti, and his strength is making things easy to understand from a common sense perspective, but that's my problem with 'inventing reality' as a phrase - used in conversation or academically, it's a combination of words that people from all sides of the political spectrum use for different reasons. Manufacturing Consent is a clear definition tied to Chomsky and his left-ish base.
It's worth reading both really. Open a mind in conversation with Parenti, then bring in the big term from Chomsky once you've got them where you want them.
yeah true, and the idea of government by "consent" of the governed is a recognizable concept to most libs that manufacturing consent clearly and concisely undermines even if they don't bother to read much past the title
