Argues that the cultural institution of news approaches and presents everyday information from particular and dominant cultural positions that benefit the power elite. Gutsche applies critical race theory and cultural studies scholarship to explore cultural meanings within news coverage of police action, the criminal justice system, and embedding into the news democratic values that are later used by the power elite to oppress and repress portions of the citizenry. He explains how the power elite use the press and the veil of the Fourth Estate to further white ideologies and American Imperialism. --From publisher description.
