Gotta separate the art from the artist I guess, all his linguistic contributions and books like Manufacturing Consent are good and likely created long before he started consorting with Epstein. I've probably read more of his linguistics stuff than his political, he made a lot of genuinely important contributions to the field, and he's no Parenti or Marx or even Finkelstein.
I don’t mean to do the thing where we’re like “oh actually I always hated the guy” but Edward Herman wrote most of Manufacturing Consent. Even Chomsky says as much.
Just want to properly credit Edward Herman is all.
Good point, good point
