I watch the news for entertainment purposes.

It is really amazing how much you DON'T hear about in the "real" news. That is why I stopped watching and use "alternative" sources instead to gather information on what is going on in this country and in the world.

the TV racial study is an interesting article.
whilst I don't doubt there is an historically entrenched bias in most forms of entertainment -- from tokenism in Star Trek to the pro-semite-Academy Awards -- this study doesn't appear to discuss the viewer bias, and whether they tested what influence the viewer's own views and perception had in their responses.
