I think it turned into a Confederate flag debate, because the media found a new, refreshing angle. While other murders in the U.S. have prejudices at their root, none are so blatant. The talking heads don't have to explain racism, institutional racism, economic inequality, or anything complicated, because Roof openly hated black people.
