What chomsky's views would be on the london riots

based on Chomsky's theory on propaganda if you relate it to the recent london riots and how the media interpreted  it, chomsky would say there are two sides of the story but only one is told because thats the propaganda.during the riots most news papers and news agencies put their main focus on the bad disgraceful behaviour of the london youth,they never went in depth as to why or what caused the riots.you could say these agencies only publish what they think the people want to see or believe.Also with the news the have to be carful with what they put for the readers to see because negative comments towards the higher authority (in this case the government) could jeopardise their business. this is were the whole idea of ownership comes in as well as control.
