I contacted a reporter for the Daytona Beach News-Journal last July,
regarding her article mentioning Zimmerman’s ‘lineage’....
“Zimmerman, whose lineage is white and Hispanic”
I wrote, “I find it a bit strange that you do not mention Zimmerman’s black lineage. Are you unaware of it or did you purposely omit it?”
Her response...
“Zimmerman’s lineage was inserted in the story by my editor. I am sure he will more than amused to know Zimmerman also has a black lineage. I will pass on your message to him.”
Detect a bit of snark in the response?
It doesn’t fit the narrative, therefore it cannot be true. That’s journalism.
