Lippmann is accredited with popularizing the phrase "[[Cold War]]" to describe the breakdown of the [[World War II]] [[Allied Powers]] alliance and the growing post-war tensions.
Lippman was a treasured figure of secular and humanist [[liberal]]s, but if they were more consistent thinkers then they would have had reservations towards him because of his advocacy of Judao-Christian [[Natural Law]]<ref> ''Religion, Politics, and the Higher Learning'', Morton White, [[Harvard University]] Press, 1959 p.112</ref>. For example, [[Noam Chomsky]] admired Lippmann's concept and phrase "manufacture of consent"<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=z8oJlTEoNUsC&pg=PA396&dq=%22Manufacture+of+Consent%22+Lippman#PPA397,M1 ''Chomsky on democracy & education''], Noam Chomsky, Routledge, 2003, ISBN 0415926319, 9780415926317, 480 pages, p.397</ref> and so titled his 1986 pamphlet<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=hd2GGAAACAAJ ''The Manufacture of Consent''], Noam Chomsky, Silha Center for the Study of Media Ethics and Law, University of Minnesota, 1986 </ref>. Shortly thereafter in 1988 Chomsky co-wrote and published ''Manufacturing Consent: The Political Economy of the Mass Media'' with fellow liberal Edward S. Herman.
