The Efforts the US Mass Media Goes to in Order to Deny There is Such a Thing as a US Working Class.

I received a message from someone who had just seen this on my You Tube channel and liked it. I can't remember if I posted it to the blog here and couldn't find it. So I thought I'd repost it as it is about the class question that is so often obscured or outright hidden in US society. The obsession with identity politics is one of the methods used to avoid promoting the class issue in the US. They have done a good job of it, the mass media has convinced millions of Americans that they are middle class and this term is used to describe workers in the media. The serious journals of capitalism like the WSJ or Business Week use it though, they know that most working people never read them.
