There's a reason chomsky has been allowed to be the "imminent thought leader of the left" for the past 60 years. He has not advocated for anything beyond voting democrat.

Just because he wrote one truth about the media ecosystem doesnt somehow absolve him from that same truth about the media ecosystem.

He would not consistently be featured in the new york times et al if he was actually a threat to their existence.
