What are the five filters of the Mass Media Machine according to Noam Chomsky and how does each work to manufacture news and “consent?” 2. What do you take to be some of the foundational reasons for the unprecedented increase in fake news? Is it because of Trump? Social media? Incompetence of more traditional media outlets? Something else? 3. Where do you tend to get your news or other important information? Do you think this is a good source? Why or why not? 4. Provide a link to an online advertisement that caught your eye recently. Why did this ad appeal to you? Do you consider it to be truthful or deceptive, perhaps because it invokes an informal fallacy? What effect do you think the advertisement had on you? Does the ad socially construct anything? 5. What is hegemony? Give an example of something that is hegemonic (it can be something political, social, cultural, economic, etc.). 6. For much of this conversation, we’ve focused on articles, commercials, etc. but there’s also memes. What is the value of memes — in other words, what can memes do that articles can’t?
