Perspectives on Critical Race Theory and Elite Media

＂Bloom stands as a type of intellectual figure that rarely exists in present-day America. Having a command of antiquity literature and history combined with a fluency in current events and philosophy, Bloom underscored that lack of engaged reading and knowledge of the world, as a title noted, forced a closing of the American mind. I am arguing something similar here related to elite media and educational journalism. I wrote this book because there is a strange set of linguistic propositions apparent in the lead press that no longer comport with experiences that occur in the real world. In other words, ideology rather than the facts preside so prominently in elite educational journalism that it is not apparent what is a myth and what the facts are-something which, for time immemorial, journalism strove to reconcile. I needed to use the tools of critical theory and critical race theory to critique how Journalism now resides in something other than reporting facts. In my estimation, elite media instantiates a new understanding of a complicated world. Novel articulations of new conceptual worlds have resided in philosophy and religion＂--
