Multiple news outlets erroneously reported the death of Noam Chomsky, a renowned writer and linguist, at the age of 95. Despite the false reports, Chomsky is confirmed alive by his wife, Valeria, and is receiving specialized treatment in a São Paulo hospital after suffering a stroke last June. The misinformation led to premature eulogies and confusion among the public, highlighting the impact of false death rumors in the age of social media.
I don't agree with Noam Chomsky on much, but he's right about this. https://t.co/XA0zsnNWBA
Noam Chomsky Leaves Hospital After Suffering Stroke https://t.co/Hv60RHlrmk
Based on my non extensive survey (only 20 participants thanks to dumb X algorithms) 75% people found about Chomsky’s alleged death via @jacobin or @jacobinlat . They can’t even apologize for spreading such an enormous false rumor. https://t.co/3DZAlNODmY
chomsky? i hardly noam..
Noam Chomsky is an absolutely terrible human. https://t.co/hGiJRw3f65
Noam Chomsky is a disgrace to intellectualism, with his rude and snide dismissals of the truth which he refuses to even look into. https://t.co/Xr0FmdF17J
I want to say this before 95-year-old Noam Chomsky dies: Over the decades, Chomsky has made his share of mistakes, but in the big picture he's a great man and I'm proud to have him as a fellow American. https://t.co/Eel1PnXVxY
'Manufacturing Obituaries': Media Falsely Reports Noam Chomsky's Death https://t.co/lZ6jcJ33Bq
I don’t think we talked enough about Noam Chomsky allegedly being alive. The last time a Jewish philosopher was reported dead and came back, we made a much bigger deal about it
Several media outlets reported Noam Chomsky's death when he was, in fact, still alive. Chomsky has always encouraged people to critically question the media, and has written acclaimed books on media control and propaganda. https://t.co/v7ui7mph9z https://t.co/v7ui7mph9z
Noam Chomsky is still alive despite recent teports; Foucault, however, is still dead … https://t.co/n15xgD7h2X

So they manufactured consent that Noam Chomsky died

Death of Willy Mays makes me a little sad. The survival of Noam Chomsky - total indifference.
Apparently Noam Chomsky is a prankster.
I don't know if I ever came right out and said it, but fuck Noam Chomsky. Fucking tankie fascist sympathizing 🤡. His legacy of genocide denialism and cuckolding dictators like Pol Pot and Putin will long be remembered.

Noam Chomsky's wife, Valeria Wasserman Chomsky, says reports on June 18 that the famed linguist and activist had died are untrue. Earlier Tuesday, Mr. Chomsky was trending on X as false reports of his death abounded. https://t.co/KGM9ciTykd
So, it appears that #NoamChomsky is in fact still alive. But what is a ‘fact’? You can still deny he is alive, just like Chomsky denied the genocides in Cambodia, Bosnia and a whole lot of other atrocities. https://t.co/SPPV7hheKa
What always impressed me about Noam Chomsky was that he was a paragon of consistency The US could do nothing right and its enemies could do nothing wrong (Thank god he’s dead, that little shit) https://t.co/Zf7iPvMpDL

I have developed a respect for various anti-establishment leftists over recent years, although Noam Chomsky is not one of them. As well as being a totally overrated academic, Chomsky has made a career as an apologist for every genocidal communist regime known to man. https://t.co/MZMD0OwhV3

So did Chomski just proxy-die then or was the resurrection proxy? Confused.
WELCOME BACK, NOAM CHOMSKY!
Amid unverified rumors that Noam Chomsky died, the leftist magazine Jacobin published an item "We Remember Noam Chomsky." But Chomsky's wife is now telling people he's alive & the magazine has updated its headline: "Let's Celebrate Noam Chomsky" https://t.co/FvR3mF4Rit https://t.co/ohYYj9F3iO
So this was in response to a post by the AP that Noam Chomsky had died. Apparently, he hasn't. The film is still great, and I recommend it. https://t.co/lelty2DcJh
Noam Chomsky may be still alive, but the innocent victims of all of the imperialists he defended—Putin, Assad, Milosevic, etc—are not alive.
Noam Chomsky to civilized world: “I’m not dead yet!”
Noam Chomsky is dead… dead serious about going to Itchy & Scratchy Land!

I’ve read that Noam Chomsky is alive. Rejoice.
Smol brain: Noam Chomsky isn't dead. Big brain: Fake reports of Chomsky's death is so ironic, considering he wrote Manufacturing Consent. Galaxy brain: Fake reports of Chomsky's death by leftist mags was purposeful propaganda to manufacture interest in Manufacturing Consent. https://t.co/f3RZrTKzF8
Even the AP was calling Chomsky’s editor asking for a comment about his passing.
Leave it to @jacobin to preemptively publish an obit for Chomsky based on a false twitter rumor of his death, then rather than pull the piece, just quietly edit the headline. (The URL still says "obituary"). https://t.co/PWPZvTJcvK https://t.co/fRRqtzYNwg
Multiple media outlets have erroneously reported the death of Noam Chomsky. He is currently in a Sao Paulo hospital, Brazil recovering after suffering from a stroke.
Must be troubling for Chomsky, who is not dead, to see many celebrate his death.
It’s not clear if Noam Chomsky really died or not, but the only thing we know for sure is he will one day be remembered as a horrible person who made a habit of being on the wrong side of history during his long, miserable life.
Just heard from Noam Chomsky’s wife Valeria. He is ok!! Yay!!! Whew!!!
Noam Chomsky, 95, Mistakenly Reported Dead, Confirmed Alive https://t.co/e2bcDWj0Yb
If Noam Chomsky, who infamously denied news media reports of death, is still alive, he must be loving that the news media misreported his death.
It is grimly humorous that this has happened to both David Irving and Noam Chomsky recently. https://t.co/w8I8pyc7IO

UPDATE: Looks like Noam Chomsky is STILL alive. I emailed him to check on him after I heard the first rumor of his death but I haven't heard back. But Steven Pinker is reporting he talked to his wife and reports of his death have been 'greatly exaggerated'. https://t.co/tbuAkdnZoR https://t.co/h8aq69Sb5S
David Irving and now Noam Chomsky. Two men with ‘controversial’ views of history that many were a little too eager to pronounce dead.
Chomsky helped shape the twisted, anti-American, anti-Western, anti-corporate, and anti-Israel ideology that dominates American college campuses today. He is its true father. Darth Chomsky. https://t.co/wKcxKUmFe6

I just deleted my tweet about Chomsky's death, since apparently his wife has now denied it. I still meant what I said about him though and unfortunately I will probably have the opportunity to say it again soon.
Chomsky the quintessential academic, intoxicated by his own ideas & resentful of the world’s refusal to abide by them.
wait chomsky died? https://t.co/EIH3WiPdVu

It appears the report about Noam Chomsky's death was wrong. The original article announcing it has been taken down. His wife Valeria says: "He is well" Apologies for any confusion caused. https://t.co/3pDaUasHbU
Let's assume Chomsky actually expired and is no longer alive. Should we call that "death," which is such a loaded term? I think saying he died really cheapens the meaning of the word death. I'd say he's simply no longer alive, just like many other people the media doesn't cover. https://t.co/o99raMCcBy

I typically avoid speaking ill of someone on the day of their death (aside for the occasional Iranian helicopter shishkebab). On that note, Noam Chomsky just died.
Chomsky's legacy is that he is one of the most renowned, highly cited, and culturally relevant academics in human history. Your legacy is taking low IQ pot shots for engagement from your low info twitter audience. Hopefully you understand that. https://t.co/pNsJE2zQiC
Moments ago, a rumor prompted multiple news outlets to post their eulogies for Noam Chomsky, despite him apparently still being alive. Would you want to read your eulogies before you die?
Great sadness to hear of the death of Noam Chomsky. A truly great progressive thinker & teacher. With his calm, quiet voice & incisive mind he so effectively challenged capitalist hegemony & became a guiding light for progressives across the globe.
