Recent reports of Noam Chomsky's death have been proven false. Various media outlets, including Jacobin, incorrectly reported the passing of the renowned linguist and critic of Israel in Brazil on June 19. Chomsky's wife has denied these claims, confirming that he is alive. The incident has sparked discussions about media reliability and Chomsky's long-standing critique of media control and propaganda. Yanis Varoufakis revealed that his piece on Chomsky was published as an obituary without his consent by the New Statesman. The false reports have led to a mix of reactions, with some defending Chomsky's legacy and others criticizing his views.
Based on my non extensive survey (only 20 participants thanks to dumb X algorithms) 75% people found about Chomskyโs alleged death via @jacobin or @jacobinlat . They canโt even apologize for spreading such an enormous false rumor. https://t.co/3DZAlNODmY
Strongly disagree with Chomsky's conclusions after being heavily influenced by them when younger, but this is great interaction. As every human being he was a complex one with multiple facets, some savory and some less than savory (ideological conclusions here) https://t.co/rebVTyLhdk
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
Hero worship blinds people. A good example is the continued veneration of Chomsky, even after his followers realize that he is a champion of the war machineโs most crucial narratives. https://t.co/jWeGaL9LXu
This is an excellent article on Chomsky's world of ideas blinded by the American centralist perspective that has become theology. By @Yassinhs https://t.co/sJvPwDo55V
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
Ron Grossman: For Noam Chomsky, who solved the age-old riddle of human speech, what could be more tortuous than being unable to talk? https://t.co/3XjUsyw4GZ
'Manufacturing Obituaries': Media Falsely Reports Noam Chomsky's Death https://t.co/lZ6jcJ33Bq
I donโt 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 โฆ https://t.co/n15xgD7h2X

Which outlet led you to believe that Noam Chomsky had died yesterday?
God Noah Smith is too stupid to even have a place in Chomskyโs theory of hegemony. The rot is deep. https://t.co/F5rvX2di4b
The north star of Noam Chomsky's foreign policy thinking -- the core around which all of his other ideas revolve -- is that America is the sole agent of imperialism and conflict in the world. And that idea is just wrong. https://t.co/ijD4uUjNXl
Noah Smith is not fit to utter a word about Chomsky https://t.co/42S5pkwim4
Chomsky's thinking on foreign policy seems leftist, but it's actually wedded to a much older American tradition: Isolationism. https://t.co/ijD4uUjg7N
Two things, the rumored deaths of which have been greatly exaggerated: 1. Noam Chomsky 2. Software

A week ago, the New Statesman asked me to write a piece on โthe Chomsky I have come to knowโ. Two days later, Jacobin, another magazine, wrongly reported that Noam had passed. Without my knowledge or consent, the New Statesman edited & published my piece as an obituary.โฆ https://t.co/JvnbOjctzj
