Ola,
Don't know much about Chomsky, but I think he studies the media and linguistics. I think the moq fits well the study of the media and public opinion. Here are some ideas:
For journalists, objectivity is seen as an imperative. Objectivity has a crucial on credibility, having a strong comercial effect. But a perfect separation between the values of the journalist and the reality his suppose do describe is an ilusion. How to deal with that?
The journalist is constantly making value judgements, at an unconscious level. He must select what to show, what to say, one story from one million possible stories. The choices involved include: where to send the cameras and the reporters; what is relevant in the whole picture; how to compact that into a couple of minutes. In that sense, reality is sort of reconstructed.
Joao

Subject: MD Question
I talked to my English teacher about Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and she brought up Noam Chomsky when we were talking about subjective-objective split, especially in the sciences. Does anyone know more about Chomsky's work and how it is relevant to MOQ?
