Isn't this whole site literally about media studies? We can join in with this curmudgeonly talking point about modern education (and i agree with a lot of it), and yet people on media studies courses often learn about chomsky and the propaganda model so it can't all be bad.
Film studies useless? yeah i suppose... what about poetry studies or literature? Yeah probably useless too - but do we want only things that are 'useful' or 'instrumental' in our education, like utilitarians?
