" In one case, the authors examined over fifty of Stephen Kinzer's articles about Nicaragua in the New York Times. They criticize Kinzer for failing to quote a single person in Nicaragua who is pro-Sandinista and contrast this with polls that Chomsky and Herman cite as reporting a 9% support for all the opposition parties taken together . Based on this example and select others, the authors conclude that such a persistent bias can only be explained by a model like the one they advocate. Applications Since the publication of Manufacturing Consent, both Herman and Chomsky have adopted the theory and have given it a prominent role in their writings, lectures, and theoretical frameworks. Chomsky, in particular, has made extensive use of its explanative power to lend support to his own interpretations of mainstream media attitudes towards a wide array of events, including the following: Gulf War (1990) Panama invasion (1989) Iraq invasion (2003). Herman, seeking to build upon a more institutionalized framework to analyze mainstream media functioning, joined the media watchdog group Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), which has as its goal the critique, documentation, and statistical analysis of what it alleges is media bias and censorship since 1986.

Testing applicability to other countries Chomsky has this to say: That's only rarely been done in any systematic way. "

This original implementation inspired many other GUI frameworks such as: The NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP development environments encourage the use of MVC. Cocoa, based on these technologies, also uses MVC. Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC). The Java Swing GUI library. More recently there have been attempts to apply MVC architectures for web-based interfaces. In the design of web applications, MVC is also known as a "Model 2" architecture in Sun parlance. Daughter Model Mother Russian Complex web applications continue to be more difficult to design than traditional applications, and MVC is being pushed as a potential solution to these difficulties. Beware: many applications which claim to comply with this much misunderstood pattern in fact do not achieve the required separation of model and view. "
