In this episode of UpFront, Mehdi Hasan speaks to the renowned American academic Noam Chomsky about his public spat with the Turkish president, the war against ISIL and Russia’s annexation of Crimea.
Noam Chomsky (born on December 7, 1928, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) is an American linguist, philosopher, cognitive scientist, historical essayist, social critic, and political activist. Sometimes called "the father of modern linguistics", Chomsky is also a major figure in analytic philosophy and one of the founders of the field of cognitive science. He is a Laureate Professor of Linguistics at the University of Arizona and an Institute Professor Emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and is the author of more than 150 books. He has written and lectured widely on linguistics, philosophy, intellectual history, contemporary issues, and particularly international affairs and U.S. foreign policy. Chomsky has been a writer for Z projects since their earliest inception, and is a tireless supporter of our operations.

This interviewer is one of the worst I have heard in a long time – incoherent, intrusive and ADD. Chomsky is very patient to put up with his silliness. No wonder , with people like this, Aljazeera is in trouble.
The interviewer interrupted many times while Chomsky answered question. “ADD” means ADHD?
It is well known that MSNBC wants to trash Bernie. Their owners want Hillary. I do not trust MSNBC’s reporting on this election. They have too many sticks in the fire themselves that Hillary would really start burning. Go Bernie!
