Do you believe there is a bias in the U.S. media?

The "ignorant masses" could very well hear about labor issues instead of more about the Dow Jones. The bias is not toward the "ignorant masses" because the "ignorant masses" don't spend all that much. Everyone wants to target wealthy demos whenever possible.

Insofar as the "masses" are "ignorant", it is because the media fails. Their instincts are actually fairly impressive.
