No. The meaning is clear. The media isn’t outright lying to you on this.
Generally they don’t outright lie. They may choose to cover some things more than others, or they may publish ridiculous opinion pieces, but the decent ones almost never outright lie.
Manufactured Consent isn’t lying. It’s selectively telling the truth either by omitting certain facts or reframing them. Here, it’s omitting what those words are referring to.
I disagree. There might be enough room for plausible deniability, but that’s by design. I do not trust the media enough not to take the side of the rich.

The claim was lying.
No, they’re not. I’m not invalidating Chomsky. I’m saying that’s not this case in this particular instance.
