On Monday, CNN showed George Zimmerman’s Social Security number and other personal information live over the air, including address, date of birth, and phone number. That immediately launched a round of tweets by Zimmerman haters celebrating knowledge of that information.
This is hardly the first time Zimmerman’s personal information has been distributed by those who oppose him. During the initial coverage of the Zimmerman trial, Spike Lee retweeted the home address of what he thought was Zimmerman’s home address. It turned out to be the wrong address. Roseanne Barr then tweeted Zimmerman’s parents’ home address. “If Zimmerman isn't arrested I'll rt his address again. maybe go 2 his house myself,” Barr tweeted.
This isn't the first element of media bias in the Zimmerman case, either. The Associated Press originally reported that Zimmerman was white. That falsehood was repeated for days by the media, heightening the racial aspect of the case.
The media also broadcast photographs of Zimmerman from a 2005 arrest rather than current photos, and conversely broadcast photographs of Martin as a pre-teen, not the 17-year-old he was at the time of the killing (the media's photographic choices actually impacted witness testimony during the trial).
NBC News manipulated tape of Zimmerman's 911 call to make it seem that Zimmerman had targeted Martin because he was black, rather than responding to 911 dispatcher questions. CNN also isolated audio of Zimmerman purportedly calling Martin a racial slur during the call -- an allegation that ended up being completely false.
Both ABC News and NBC News also alleged that Zimmerman's injuries did not exist, releasing badly-pixellated photographs from the night of the incident. As trial testimony has shown, Zimmerman was indeed injured during the incident with Martin.

Mr. Zimmerman will be able to buy a nice villa in Peru when this is all over.
An accident?

‘He jumped out of the bushes’ and attacked me

No he won't.If the State of Florida fails to get him 20 years...most likely as the result of a couple of hung juries...Attorney Corpora; Holder will get "justice" for his boss's son.
No, an "accident."
Not a chance. The networks spend too much time and money crafting stories for anything to be an accident. Any veteran editor would have instantly caught it.
It was deliberate.
Dead men don’t sue.

It wasn’t just CNN that broadcasted Z’s SSN. It was available on the video and audio feed from the courtroom, so anybody that was broadcasting that feed let it out, unless they were on a delay and someone was sharp enough to catch it.
Now wouldnt it be funny if the CNN news anchors and the producers had their social secuirty numbers transmitted to an identity theft hacker group? I wonder if they’d be so happy to share information then. I’m guessing not...
I remember when the LAPD cops were acquitted of criminal charges related to the Rodney King incident. After a few days of rioting George H.W. Bush had his justice department prosecute and convict those cops of civil rights violations. We will probably see the same thing in Florida.
Maybe next they could “ accidentally” release the real form of Soetoro’s birth certificate, or maybe his college transcripts, or maybe....
in a just world he'd OWN CNN when when this is over, but then again, in a just world he'd never of gone to trial...
Or maybe where he was when Benghazi was going down.
Also, news stories are usually prepared in completion hours in advance, barring any sudden new information. They would have had somebody go over the entire story well before it was broadcast.
It’s pretty much impossible for it to be an accident. It was pure intimidation and possibly trying to instigate a murder because dead people don’t sue.
Why don’t they broadcast Harrison J Bounel’s SS#?
What’s the problem? Four of the five people who still watch CNN were asleep in nursing homes, and the fifth, who was channel surfing in a jail cell, doesn’t understand English and already has a half-dozen social security numbers tattooed on his arms and legs.
