Talk to Al Jazeera - Noam Chomsky: The responsibility of privilege
Linguist and political activist Noam Chomsky remains as vigorous as ever at the age of 84. His popularity - or notoriety as some would say - endures because he is still criticising politicians, business leaders and other powerful figures for not acting in the public's best interest. At the heart of Chomsky's work is examining the ways elites use their power to control millions of people, and pushing the public to resist. In this episode of Talk to Al Jazeera, Noam Chomsky sits down with Rosiland Jordan to talk about the two main tracks of his life: research and political activism.

I'm so sorry the interviewer thought the sentiment against Obama was racism.
It's about a culture of entitlement that the US cannot afford, lack of policies that reignite the US ecomony and handing power to foreign investors through historic borrowing. Has little to do with race or color. It showed her media bias that I would hope AlJazeera is able to steer clear of as it ventures into the US cable market. Mr. Chomsky is fairly calm here.
