The news media in this country is going to be so distraught and angry when avg Joe is going to be able to report on events accurately, without bias, and news corps will buy the stuff.
Who provided the "visual comparison?"
The media gave us Barack Obama and now they are fanning the flames for race riots with a few photos and narrative.
wow - MSNBC is doing a report on this subject like they had NO IDEA that people are influenced by photos.
“Both photos are a few years old and no longer entirely accurate. Yet they may have helped shape initial public perceptions of the deadly shooting.”
Well holy sh*t. You guys at AP are a bunch of Captain Einsteins aren’t you? How many of you did it take to figure that out?
Are these Rights to those who use if for propaganda purposes, who create false truths, or even use it to incite hatred/violence against a group or individual?
Do these Rights trump a persons Right to be Innocent until proven guilty?
America has a long history to our very founding regarding these Rights. But, they came into existence to support both the citizen and the press to be able to inform ourselves of the ....truth. When that intent is violated and infringed upon is it still a protected Right?
Is showing a person as a child, when they were clearly a young man at the time of an incident a breach of the public trust in the press? Does such reporting lead to the public’s perception being false regarding the individual?
Does showing the ‘alleged’ in an orange jumpsuit, instead of the picture of them grouped with his family create a false perception?
Is this really protected Rights? Or do “We the People” deserve better.
Oh, so now they a ting like they could be absolved for their complicity in the electronic beat down of Zimmerman.
Nice try liars.
You screwed the pooch on this, big time.
So the article acknowledges that the pictures are not accurately depict both men. Yet, it doesn’t provide more recent ones.
I get it now. It’s not the racists in the press that are at fault, it’s the evil pictures that caused the lies to be published. NBC was innocent as the driven snow when they cut the part out of the recording where the dispatcher asked Zimmerman the race of the suspect. The pictures made them do it.
Yes they are.
Trayvon Martin special prosecutor imposes news blackout
7:23 p.m. EST, March 29, 2012|
By Rene Stutzman, Orlando Sentinel
The special prosecutor in the Trayvon Martin case on Thursday imposed a news blackout, saying her office would no longer respond to questions about the investigation.
Angela Corey, state attorney in Duval, Clay and Nassau counties, has done several interviews since her appointment one week earlier, including an appearance on CNN and interviews with the Orlando Sentinel and Miami Herald.
But Thursday evening, her media relations manager released a statement, saying Corey’s office would no longer comment about the case.
That happened 24 hours after Sanford released security camera video showing suspect George Zimmerman walking into police headquarters with no obvious signs of injury.
Jackelyn Barnard, Corey’s media relations specialist, was quoted on clickorlando.com, the website of WKMG-Channel 6, Orlando, complaining that the video should never have been released.
Her Thursday night email to journalists said that leaks in recent days had divulged certain details about the manslaughter investigation that should have remained secret.
Corey was imposing the blackout, the email said, “to protect the integrity of the case.”
“Are old photos of Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman deceptive?”
Ahhh, that’s a rhetorical question, right?
Obama looks like Trayvon’s dad.
.
Al Sharptonge was on yesterday saying all the new photos of Trayvon out now are fake. He even showed the one in the white tee shirt and gold teeth, said it wasn’t him.
Beyond all his lies, I think he really is too stupid to know what is obvious to everyone else.
