Definition Lap Dog Theory. Description.
Lap Dog Theory holds that the mass media produce content
that (primarily) serves the interests of political and economic elites, leaving
the poor and disadvantaged in the dark.
The metaphor
oversimplifies the position of most critics, who believe that modern news
media can create critical content. However this content has little impact
on changing society, partly because ordinary people have limited access to
economic and political resources.
