“Prestige media” is a new term I haven’t seen before. It sounds like a classier sounding version of MSM or liberal media or left-leaning outlets. I’m very curious to hear where you first heard that term.
- Wolfenstein98k 5y agoWhy does it matter where they first heard the term? It feels - based on your presumptions - like you're gearing up to attack them if the source isn't acceptable. (This may be completely inaccurate and I'm just being hypervigilant)
- jimbob45 5y agoI’m on his side on this and certainly don’t want to attack him lol However, I’m curious because it’s a much nicer-sounding term than the alternatives, seemingly engineered. Given the difficulties Conservatives have had in expressing distrust of newspapers, news stations, etc, I’m wondering if it came from a Conservative source.
- civilized 5y agoI'm not sure where I heard it either to be honest. But the idea is that there are some outlets we respect more than others -- perhaps legitimately, based on average quality on most topics, and not putting foot in mouth with blatant falsehoods -- and these outlets have an overwhelming tendency to horribly misrepresent events that touch on certain "culture war" issues.
