Where does Noam Chomsky get his information from?

Answer 1

one answer:

This is a question he has gotten in an interview I've either read or watched his answer or both; He gets his information from sources such as those available to him as an academic and former professor, as well as the conceptual framework and wherewithal that enables him to find information that he's looking for either at a library or on the internet. He also gets his information from certain journalists, which he contends is the only way to get certain kinds of information, since, not surprisingly, the information they deal in happens across the globe in isolated or difficult to reach places.

another answer:

Noam Chomsky is a well-known author and educator who has a thorough command of current events and knows how to do research. He also knows how to locate and utilize key journalists who share his point of view. But it should be noted that Chomsky is very controversial in some quarters, and identified with a very left-wing perspective on most issues. That is something worth factoring in when you read his work-- his sources will often reinforced what he already believes to be the case. (The perspective of the writer is also worth keeping in mind when reading the work of very right-wing academics and scholars.) Chomsky is admired as an expert on linguistics and is passionately followed by a number of people on the left. He is also perceived by many on the right as someone who holds anti-Israel, anti-corporate, and anti-war views.
