" And interesting work on British Central America coverage by Mark Curtis in his book Ambiguities of Power. There is work on France, done in Belgium mostly, also a recent book by Serge Halimi (editor of Le Monde diplomatique) . There is one very careful study by a Dutch graduate student, applying the methods Ed Herman used in studying US media reaction to elections (El Salvador, Nicaragua) to 14 major European newspapers. [. . . ] Interesting results. Plastic Motorcycle Model Discussed a bit (along with some others) in a footnote in chapter 5 of my book "Deterring Democracy[". ] [3] References Chomsky, Noam. "

" With respect to what is shown by a conceptual model there are differences at least with respect to computer science, mathematics and logic. Mathematical models in one way or another establish a functional cohesion between entities such as input values and output values. Logical models establish an interpretation relationship between formulae and structures. Models in Computer Science are largely organizational in that they show how data, a cooperation between agents, the process of creating a response to an external stimulus, an algorithm, or similar is structured. The emphasis of organization that is apparent in many models of computer science appears to be a consequence of either of the following: (1) complexity issues need to be dealt with such that a functional cohesion actually can be evaluated. (2) a domain of individuals or universe of discourse has to be established and the individuals within that domain are supposed to be capable of being distinguished from each other by means of their condition in that organization or particular handles available to a user of that model. III. Plastic Model Building The original of a model may itself be physical or conceptual. It may be so, independently of the consistency of the model. "
