THIS is the reason, I believe, for the major differences in opinion that we have.

I believe when the MEDIA hype comes out and says something (especially during this case) you can assume they took it out of context to make the MOST out of it.

With all due respect, I am sick and tired of this angle.

Believe me, I do not have a high opinion of the media. I have been watching the trial and form my own opinion. Sometimes I hear my observation and opinion echoed or mirrored in the media in this particular case. So does the other side.

You need to accept that some viewers of the trial see it the way they do because of the evidence, not because the media told them to think a certain way.

"You need to accept that some viewers of the trial see it the way they do because of the evidence, not because the media told them to think a certain way."

What about the uninitiated that aren't following the trial, or even reading the transcripts? The ones that get their 60 second dose from local news stations at night? The Bill O'Reilly's that made up their minds after 45 seconds? Those are the people that the media will sway, and I honestly think that there are many many MORE of them than there are of us.
