“Shameful and sad that Valéria Chomsky had to deny news of Noam Chomsky’s death,” said one Brazilian academic who spoke to the renowned leftist’s wife.
Yeah, wtf was that about?
I guess they probably have stories about prominent figures preloaded but that’s just ass.
It’s not the first time it happens. Everyone has reporters writing and updating old celebrities’ obituaries on their down time because then they can publish a more complete and higher quality article when the inevitable happens. The problem is when someone fires the pre-written obituary because of some rumour or bad source and then everyone else does the same because no one wants to be the last one to report the news.
It’s happened for at least 100 years, in fact.
Wait, he’s alive? I’ve been reading stories of his death for the past day or so.
You win this time, Internet!
““The reports of my death were greatly exaggerated.” -Mark Twain” -Noam Chomsky
This was just a big-brained ploy by Chomsky to sell more copies of Manufacturing Consent. Truly, the Machiavelli of our time!

I would have gone or “manufacturing “he spent””, but whatever.
Didn’t knew he was living (?) in Brazil, if I pass by him walking at the Paulista would have not recognized. Any idea why he’s living there?
His wife is from Brazil.
Another epstein acolyte.
Why are u downvoted, it appears to be true.
In post modern subjectivist world, truth is just another factor for an opinion, not the determining factor.
Makes it easier to rule the plebs ;)
Got to listen to the end ;)
