Bourgeois media is media that is owned, controlled, or otherwise serves the interests of the ruling class (the bourgeoisie).[1]
A prime example is how in the United States, 6 companies control 90% of all of broadcast media.[2] Billionaires also bank roll their own propaganda outlets, ranging from liberal Democrats like Bill Gates[3] to right-wing oil billionaires behind the anti-communist PragerU.[4][5]
