[Imc] RE: Noam Chomsky Quote

[Ellen Knutson]

The quote is actually from Berhard Cohen and is from his book The Press and 
Foriegn Policy published in 1963.

Here is the actual quote, I actually saw it with my own eyes this evening, 
in the actual book: "It [the press] may not be successful much of the time 
in telling people what to think, but it is stunningly successful in telling 
its readers what think about." (p. 13)
