This writing is so charged, Matt. A perfect blend of fury and despair. We're right there with you.

Chomsky is one source for theories on the topic of the media as spectacle, but certainly not the only one. I would also recommend the seminal tome by the late Situationist author Guy Debord, _The Society of the Spectacle_, which is available online (https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/guy-debord-the-society-of-the-spectacle.pdf), as well as the work of Neil Postman, especially _Amusing Ourselves to Death_.
