For at least a generation, our major media machines have paradoxically extolled the wealthy and championed the “oppressed” while ladling out pure derision for everyone stuck in the middle.

While journalists flew down to Mississippi in mostly fruitless searches for racial hate crimes, they ignored—or even laughed at—the fact that the middle and working classes were being lynched en masse.
