Manufacturing Consent

One of the visual techniques that is used in the film is when Noam Chomsky and Fritz Bolkenstein are having a debate about the manufacture of consent, and random clips of a boxing match pop into the picture. It is mentioned that it is uncommon for a debate to happen in public. As the debate is going on, after one of the debaters says one thing, we are then referred to the boxing match again and this time one of the boxers is receiving all the hits, and vice versa when the other debater is stating his point on the matter. This goes to show how everything has its own image and not all debates are seen in the same way. Not all forms of media are appropriate for every situation since articles can be biased based on the writer and this bias can also be added into films after all the editing has been done.
