Elite edit

for a use of "elite" that characterizes distribution of wealth and power in the US, see power elite. tho, I see why some say the average US media source is kinda liberal-leaning. KɔffeeDrinkerMcIzzl 03:52, 6 May 2006 (UTC)Reply


I am not persuaded that this is an accurate definition. A more common definition of this term in political science and journalism is "the media whose output is most often consumed by key policy makers, often known as elites--see power elite (per the prior entry.). A much more complete entry is needed here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.1.96.138 (talk) 15:13, 25 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Media elitism edit

The page refers to the pejorative sense but does not explain it -- I believe that like Liberal elite, in the United States the phrase "elite media" seems more commonly complimentary and "media elite" seems more typically the pejorative.

I'll try and convey some of that in the article, but others who know more of right-wing criticisms for the media elite please adjust as needed. Cheers Markbassett (talk) 20:12, 8 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

User:Symmachus Auxiliarus - ??? you reverted the above talk, which is odd and contrary to WP:TALK. Was there a WP policy reason?
I don’t recall doing that whatsoever, so it was obviously a recent changes misclick. Symmachus Auxiliarus (talk) 22:59, 10 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
