I just watched a FoxNews report that referenced the subject article of this thread. Reporter stated experts concluded person crying out for help “could not be Zimmerman” but rather was a young boy. The reporting on this shooting has been horrible. I’ve delt personally with reporters before and they often get minor details a little wrong but this is crazy.
I consider it typical. I don't trust anything the media says, at face value. If the issue is important to you, look for original source materials. Develop the ability of separating reporter opinion (99.9% of "news" content) from fact. Know that the residual "fact" that has been provided is incomplete, cherry-picked, and otherwise manipulated in presentation so that it loses the context it was in, in fact.

I've dealt with them too. They are worse than lawyers and politicians, and that's going pretty low.
