Drudge has this : Trayvon Martin: ABC enhances George Zimmerman video...
The MSM has been taking sides again - to push a lie. Zimmerman had cuts, scrapes and damage to the back of his head...
No way........whodathunk........
now that we have 24/7 new channels and blogs that are even faster, what kind of mind would read Time?
The best possible outcome to this entire fiasco would be for a Democrat appointed judge to throw out all charges on the basis that extensive pre-trial publicity and manufactured evidence would make a fair trial for Zimmerman impossible anywhere in America. The judge could then suggest that the organized mobs direct their rage at the media responsible for the situation, starting with NBC.
Media reports of the event are 180 degrees out of phase with reality. Remember that when you read ANY news story. The media is at best unreliable, and is usually flat out WRONG. Sometimes, as in this case, it acts with malicious bias
Absolutely. We have a local ABC station here WFTV Channel 9 that immediately started the charade and had Zimmerman guilty based on a couple of on camera interviews. They ran the story 24/7 and that is when chief race baiters Jackson & Sharpton entered. The rest is history.
What makes this interesting is the Sanford police department is very inept at public relations. If the police department had just made a statement early on that it appears to be self-defense and the facts would come out in court ONLY and then get a judge to put a gag order on the news media, this would have been nipped in the bud.
A while back a local fire fighter went missing here in central Florida. His rental car was found in a wallmart parking lot in Maine. Channel 9 went up there to investigate. From eye witnesses a suspect or person of interest was found. Channel 9 went to the persons home and was questioning the father of the suspect. The local police investigator came out of the house and screamed to the top of his lungs for the TV crew to get the hell out of there. They hesitated and he rushed them and they got the hell out of there. They left the area right after that.
It turns out the fireman was selling prescription drugs to the suspect and the suspect owed him money and he shot the fireman. He is in jail under no bond.
Now if channel 9 had gotten involved there is no telling what would have transpired. My hats off to the Maine police department. . . .
Zimmerman is guilty.

Zimmerman’s lawyer is Captain Obvious??? :)
This incident happened WEEKS ago - but did any of us hear about until the Race Baiter in Chief opined, intimating that a poor little black boy who, if he had a son, “would look like Trayvon” was profiled and brutally gunned down by a - um - ‘WHITE Hispanic’?
Once the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES weighed in, for political reasons (He cut his teeth on “don’t let a crisis go to waste”), he, essentially gave the media and the can-always-be counted-on race baiters/riot rousers carte blanche to jump in run with it.
Now, with death threats, with innocent people in hiding in fear of their lives, with bounties issued, SILENCE. He’s not even offering a beer on the WH lawn.
Why is NO ONE calling him to task?
(Maybe they’re all to busy getting ready to switch over to the story of the funeral shootings - 12 injured - including a 5 year old girl - 2 dead. Oh wait! that was only black killing blacs. move on - Their lives don’t count for political/money/headlines hay.
Headline is the understatement of the year, lol!
Clearly, the death of Trayvon Martin has been manipulated and the media play out of the story has been orchestrated. But why?
I think Jesse Jackson, Al Shapton, the media and many others are doing a setup for Obama's reelection. Racial tensions will continue to mount over this and other incidents. The violence is already spreading and will peak during the heat of summer. At that point, Barack Obama will hold a "beer summit" of some sort and will miraculously heal the racial wounds. The medial will declare him a racial messiah and will sing his praises for bringing America together. He will run on a theme as a "unifier".
