What I would really love to see is a journalistic/academic pursuit on the extent of elites' conscious undermining of the lower class. Are they holding weekly meetings on how to exploit the working class via actively shaping media coverage of current events in an effort to amplify divisions along racial, party, or religious (etc.) lines? No, probably not. But is there some established feedback loop regarding media that tends towards doing exactly that, and elites are at least somewhat aware of it? Probably so. I'd love to disentangle ever-more-partisan reporting from truth, and this article was a good step in the right direction. Thanks, 'bl00.
