Ostensibly, it's agreeing with the prevailing leftist interpretation of a given piece of media. Really, it's the ability to more deeply dissect a piece of media to analyse the author's intent.
Understanding the meaning behind a work of media. However, nowadays it's a buzzword for insulting people for liking things. Case in point, Starship Troopers the film is supposed to be making fun of the "space nazis" and pointing out that they are the bad guys, but people started identifying with them because of poor writing and they're fun so leftists are melting down over it.

"Guy who actually lived through war and it's aftermath take umbrage with the interpretation of a warhawk who spent WW2 sitting on a beach in California."

The meaning behind a work is nothing more than an interpretation though...entirely subjective and varied from person to person. What a dumb concept for them to latch onto.
It makes sense from their perspective. They're massive believers in credentialism, and if someone who has some authority, whether by degree or title, says X media means Y, then that must be true and your disagreement with that interpretation is because you aren't properly trained.
What is "media literacy"? Both ostensibly and really.
all it means is that you agree with The Message.
I thought it meant "understanding what the creator was trying to convey."
But they're leftists, and they change definitions daily to suit the subversion.
To them, it's "be as far left as you want, just don't be rational ie conservative"

Worse, he didn't even read it. He threw a faggoty hissyfit before getting through the second chapter.
