Chomsky is, to say the least, a controversial figure in the blogosphere. I have read so many criticisms of Chomsky, many very eloquent, I have become very wary of his ideas. I have read many of his books, but to be honest so many of them repeat what previous books say, I will probably never buy Chomsky again.

I have just looked at the interview and I can’t see anything misleading or offensive that Chomsky say’s.
This was one of Paxmans more serene interviews and Chomsky comes across as knowldgeable and eloquent. which he is .
Maybe Chomsky repeats what he says , so what , it does not make it untrue.
