Guy who has done some work on this stuff / culture, nationalism and multiculturalism. Pretty sure America has a ‘common’ civic culture around which all ethnic and religious groups can feel part of - undergirded by constitutional principles, not racial heritage.

The role of a free press in a democratic society is not to effusively gush about the ‘love of country’ but to hold the government accountable and provide a check on all 3 branches. Murrow did not claim to love the state - he challenged power.
