The media, you mean.

A deflection on their part.

The Royal Wedding . . . WHO GIVES A CRAP

It could be said that while the existence of humans might be an accident, our Humanity is no accident. The Brits continuing a tradition of civilization should remind us of qualities for which we should strive.

That they call them Royals and commoners is just a function of language.

So, pull yer pants back up...

Yes, but the media is merely a reflection of the views and interests of the people they are reporting to
