The fifth and last of the news filter is called 'anti-communism'

—  The fifth and last of the news filter that Herman and Chomsky identified was first  known as 'anti-communism'. You see, Manufacturing Consent was written during the Cold War. Back when communism was seeing as the great evil and American was the only one that could stop the red menace before it destroyed us all. These day however the filter is more known as the “enemy” western identification of 'the enemy' or an 'evil dictator' - Colonel Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, but the main problem is that the mass media seem to be only able to forces on one enemy at a time. Even though Colonel Gaddafi has been abusing his own peoples human rights for decades did it get any attention in the media. Nope because Saddam Hussein was the one American was after so all the other evil dictator would have to wait their turn. The same extends to mainstream reporting of pretty much every time there a protest about anything concerning the government, the banks or flags. The media is there to abusing non violent activists of disturbing the peace. Or focusing in on a small group of trouble making within a group and generalise the whole group as one and the same.

  in summary, a propaganda approach to media coverage is highly political. Using propaganda in news coverage to build up the important of the main power holder
interests. All to serve political and commercial needs All through controlled, suppression of material that would be harmful to own goals, misleading publicity. Generalise groups preventing information from being published.
