Mark Bauerlein, a review
of "The Anti-Chomsky Reader",
from Reason,  April 2005
http://www.reason.com/news/show/36575.html

  "... Eli Lehrer finds that, in the last 10 years,
  Chomsky has all but ignored the most striking new
  medium of our time: the Internet. He says little about
  the weblogs and other virtual newsroom start-ups that
  have done the very work he advocates, forcing into the
  public eye stories that traditional media outlets
  ignored. When he does heed the Internet, he makes the
  same charges he leveled against the networks, in the
  process misrepresenting basic aspects of online
  communication. The Internet is just the kind of
  populist medium that Chomsky supposedly reveres, but
  all he can do is squeeze it into a conspiracy theory."

Oh my god, a geezer who doesn't gush about the
internet.  What a traitor to his ideals.
