Aren't those nouns?

In this case, sure. I mentally think of it as the excessively-specific adjective problem, because usually I'm wanting to replace "British media" with "media" or something. This shot right off the adjectives entirely. (This is explanation, not defense, BTW; you are entirely correct.)
I would call it a problem of excessive specificity in general, where specifying adjectives is an example of it!
I stand corrected.
Proper nouns at that.
