It's embarrassing.

I watch the BBC America channel's news a lot. They do world stories, no fluff. My local networks have terrible news coverage, and I live in NYC which is probably the biggest audience in the country.

I'm confused by the OP,
Is it pointing out the obvious?
Levying a criticism?
or
Celebrating Loving v.Virginia ?

It was a criticism of the media for sometimes putting the trite over the important news. Wasn't criticizing conservatives or promoting racial tolerance.

The media reports what people are interested in. I'm not sure the media is to blame.
