Chomsky News Network

It came on a little late, but Chomsky handled himself pretty well and Bill Bennett as expected hurled lies and slanders and asked a couple of times why Chomsky lives in the U.S. Paula Zahn ended by suggesting that people go out and buy both books and make up their own minds which drew a smile from Chomsky. She opened up the segment with a quote from his book which said he in no way condoned the 911 attacks so good for her and the corporate media. Chomsky referred to the opening quote after Bennett suggested he did say in the book that the US deserved it.

I would be interested to hear what Chomsky thought. The significance is that his book is selling so well that Bennett felt it necessary to "debate" him and CNN felt it okay to put him on, on this somber final day of the recovery efforts at ground zero.
