Dr. Julien Mercille:

The views of elites are topics in the media. Some topics are covered more than others, especially business topics, while topics such as homelessness and deprivation do not receive the coverage they deserve if other views were included to a greater extent. The second part is that whenever a topic is addressed, whether it is homelessness, housing or the financial crisis, the way the topic is interpreted reflects the views of the establishment.

That does not mean that the media just parrot whatever the Government says. It means that it reflects the diversity of views within the establishment. There is a diversity but it is relatively narrow. There are always exceptions. One can always find an article that contradicts what I said but there would only be a few articles. I am talking about general trends and that is very clear.
