Question by Bob H: People like Chomsky and Zinn…?
I’m a big fan of Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky, and I’ve read a lot of their material. I’m wondering though, who are some other modern day liberal professors or philosophers similar to Zinn and Chomsky?

Best answer:

Answer by Michael
Zinn is hardly a philosopher and liberal is not the appropriate word to describe these two greats. But john pilger and bob fisk are two great journalists of the ilk of zinn and chomsky
