Not necessarily. I think its more of a "reap what you sew." The current approach of many media outlets is to search out stories that might fit - or forced-fit - into templates. Some templates, I suspect, are known to generate increased viewership because they touch on folks hot-buttons.
However, when one of those topics is race - as it is sometimes portrayed in the media whether legit or not - and it continues to be mined by the media for its ratings value, it has a corrosive effect society, and artificially gins up racial animus and polarization.
