Dr. Mercille's premise is that the media conveys the views of political and economic elites. The question I am asking him is with a view to backing that up. We are a democracy. People vote. They vote based on views put forward by various political parties. So, by definition, if the media reflects the views of the particular party in power at that time, at some stage does it not reflect the views of the people and, by definition, the readership?
