Herman’s work was difficult for many to understand because the nature of the American media, then and now, seemed at best to be at an arm’s length from, say, the CIA or the State Department. Here is how the book put it: “It is much more difficult to see a propaganda system at work where the media are private and formal censorship is absent.” Source: En anglais
