Bias: Evidence revealed so far in the Trayvon Martin murder trial shatters the media narrative that shooter George Zimmerman acted as a rabid racist hunting down an angelic black boy.
For a full week last year after the tragedy, NBC "Nightly News" and "Today" ran audio tape of Zimmerman allegedly telling a 911 dispatcher, "This guy looks like he's up to no good. He looks black."
To an audience that didn't know better, that was damning evidence — a seemingly open-and-shut case of racial profiling. Only, it was a frame-up.
NBC producers doctored the recording to portray Zimmerman as a bigot. In the unedited 911 call, the dispatcher asks Zimmerman to describe Martin's skin color. Yet NBC made it seem as if Zimmerman targeted him because he was black and edited the exchange to look like he believed blacks in general are up to no good.
Other examples of biased media coverage included:
• ABC News originally claiming Zimmerman had no visible signs of injury based on a fuzzy video that later, when enhanced, clearly showed wounds to his head.
• CNN isolating part of a 911 call and speculating Zimmerman could be heard in the background calling Martin a racial slur, when in fact he did no such thing.
• Networks broadcasting photos of Martin as a pre-teen, ignoring the social-media photos of the 17-year-old smoking, shooting the middle finger and glowering at the camera with gold teeth.
Major media also ignored Martin's criminal history.
At the time of the shooting, he was visiting Zimmerman's townhouse complex in Sanford, Fla., from Miami, where he'd been suspended from school after officials found burglary tools and allegedly stolen jewelry in his backpack.

They don't care about having an "enhanced" image. Their mentality is the same as that of Islamic terrorists: rioting is a show of force meant to induce fear, pure and simple. And it's working. People are afraid of offending blacks and muslims. Hispanics, whether they like it or not, are being pushed into the White, Jewish, and Asian category: the Elois.
George wanted to become a lawyer, he'll have the chance to get alot of practical experience.
Seriously, what are George's chances?
Because it gives them an excuse to start up new giveaway programs to help downtrodden minorities, and to lock even more people into a lifetime of dependency on the government.

“If there is rioting as a result of the verdict, how does that enhance the image of black people?”
It does not enhance their image. They have the insane idea that it enhances their “power”.
The idea is widely held that black people got so many goodies, such as “affirmative action”, special priviledges for voting, special voting “minority majority” districts, and wefare benefits because they rioted in the 60’s. This was a supposed payoff to prevent them from rioting in the future.
It is a weird belief in many ways, because the people that were hurt were overwhelmingly black people. Who were they extorting from?
However, I have heard this stupid theory put forward over and over for 40 years.
You are exactly right. People must learn to see the big picture.
That’s a tired old tactic of the left for years now. (Though tired, it still works on the low-info and willfully ignorant). Non-PC facts and statistics are called “hate facts”.
Tattoos obviously appear overnight. Here today, gone yesterday, so to speak.
Exactly. It’s a win-win for the leftists. If whites don’t retaliate, they continue to suffer attack. If they do retaliate, the left and their lapdog media will portray the whites as racist haters for defending themselves. That’s the power of ownimg the mainstream media.
The Americans who are black are viewed by the Democrats as being their “Shock Troops”. In order to implement the Democrat agenda, some heads have to be broken. The old college professors aren’t going to do it. They want Americans who are white afraid of the Americans who are black. Now you have a better understanding of why Democrats want gun control.
So they are like zits —
Zit removal, however, is relatively easy.
Well, there's that old Jimmy Buffett song "Margaritaville". I guess Purple Drank has the same effect.
“Asked by De la Rionda if she has children, Fulton replied in a clear but slightly quavering voice: “My youngest son is Trayvon Benjamin Martin. He’s in heaven.”
She then gave details of Martin’s tattoos, noting that her son was right-handed and had two tattoos. One was on his right upper shoulder and showed praying hands with his grandmother’s and great-grandmother’s names.
The other tattoo was on his left wrist. “He had my name there,” she said.”
LOL
Now all we need are its worshippers bringing bowls of Skittles as offerings.
There we go
