If elite wisdom shifts two degrees to the left, Fox literally has an editorial meeting where they ask "how can we push back against this?" Whereas NPR *is* elite wisdom

A subset of elite wisdom. It reflects and shapes a fraction of the professional and managerial class's thinking. But I doubt it has all that much in common with your average bond trader.
