US dissident, philosopher, author Noam Chomsky talks to Frank Barat about the current US protest spreading like fire across the country following the police killing of George Floyd, the forthcoming US elections and why it is crucial to vote not for someone in this case, but against someone and finally how manufacturing consent manifests itself in 2020.
Chomsky and Barat have worked on two books together: On Palestine and Gaza in Crisis, both published at Haymarket Books.
