It wasn't easy to get the public to trust us even less ... but we managed!

They got caught doctoring the 911 tapes. No wonder people don’t trust them.

Yeah and king hussein didn’t help the divide either. Well, he helped widen it. So, when is he gonna have the (so called) parents of st. trayboi up to the white house?

There is a serious gap in our gun and self defense laws.
When the media and the government can take a case with literally no credible evidence of being anything other than self-defense, and do to the man who defended his own life what they’ve done to George Zimmerman, I’d call that a serious gap.

Vermin getting their image hurt? Seems hard to do.

When Zimmerman's 911 calls were released, NBC inexplicably edited the tape, stringing together separate statements in order to portray Zimmerman as saying: "This guy looks like he's up to no good. He looks black." Nothing inexplicable at all about it. They believe GZ was a bad guy and were willing to lie to prove it.

Has the media ever taken the side of a law abiding citizen? They always seen to side with the criminal - and glorify them.

They’re still incorrectly referring to GZ’s call as a ‘911 call’. He called the non-emergency number.

There are still enough fools out there that do believe the media and those are the people they preach to. They know the rest of us turn them off in disgust.

Holy Crap in your nest Batman!
Hell this is a pretty damn honest story. I find it hard to believe it comes from a big city, main stream newspaper.

...reporters took a tragic situation and sensationalized it, igniting racial tensions rather than focusing on what many see as serious gaps in our gun and self-defense laws.
Who are these "many" who supposedly "see" so-called "serious gaps in our gun and self-defense laws?" It's obviously more leftist extremism trying to masquerade as "news."
Marxists never learn from their stupid mistakes.

Unfortunately, the press has done little to improve that image with its coverage of Trayvon Martin's death. Instead, reporters took a tragic situation and sensationalized it, igniting racial tensions rather than focusing on what many see as serious gaps in our gun and self-defense laws. Right for the wrong reason. Thinking Americans understand the right to self-defense and that this right is not granted by government. The focus should have been on the facts -- SYG was not a factor and Zimmerman acted in clear-cut self-defense -- rather than on Obamaesque race baiting.

I don’t believe the Inquirer report that only 60% of Americans don’t trust the media.

:: A CNN analysis suggested that Zimmerman had used a racial epithet under his breath during that 911 call. The network later retracted the allegation. ::
Really?
Shocking!
Isn’t this the same network that agreed to report/publish only positive news concerning the Saddam Hussein regime in trade for access to the tyrant leading up to and during Enduring freedom?
