It's very lazy thinking. People are scared and confused about the world and the easy thing to do is create a nebulous group ("elite", "1%", etc.) to attack as the source of their problems. It's a tale as old as time.
Not to mention the so-called "viewpoint of the 1%" appears to change almost daily, is contradictory, and often times critical of the very 1% that controls "controls the media".
"Mass Media" must also include Twitter, Meta, Google, Apple Music, Spotify, and other sources of content, news, analysis, etc. How many people does the 1% have in on their scheme?
Way better off figuring out how your local representative is taking $5,000 grift payments to expedite some shoddy development that'll collapse in 10 years or cause cancer than to spend time dwelling on such nonsense.
