Some probably are. Personally I’ve never been a fan of Chomsky (though I know some Socialist Party members are), especially not his stuff on US foreign policy, which is just boring and apparently (according to the link you give) not always accurate and does lend comfort to kneejerk anti-Americanism and its devotees.Having said this, I can’t deny that his stuff on the media, manufacturing consent is useful.There’s an assessment of Chomsky from the August 1998 Socialist Standard here:http://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/socialist-standard/1990s/1998/no-1128-august-1998/chomskys-weakness
