The term elite media refers to newspapers, radio stations, TV channels, and other media that are deemed to serve a political or economic elite and influence the political agenda of other mass media. According to Noam Chomsky’s Propaganda Model, "[t]he elite media set a framework within which others operate”. Conservatives often use "Elite media" or "Media elite" in a pejorative context, alleging that the reporting is biased and untrustworthy—-associating liberalism with elites who, unlike conservatives, have disdain for working-class needs and values.
