Elite media
The elite media is newspapers, radio stations, TV channels, and other media that influence the political agenda of other mass media. According to Noam Chomsky, "[t]he elite media set a framework within which others operate.[1]
The New York Times is used as an example of elite media by both Chomsky, a left-wing intellectual, and Bill O'Reilly, a right-wing commentator.[2] The newspaper is in a structural position within the mass media, rather than a particular political agenda.
Conservatives may use the "Elite media" or "Media elite" in a pejorative context, referring to elites in reporting having scorn or disdain for working-class needs and values, and allegations that the reporting is biased and untrustworthy.[3][4]
