It wasn't easy to get the public to trust us even less ... but we managed!
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.
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.
...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.
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?
Nope. The media’s image is so low that it would have to raise 1, 000,000 years at the speed of light to get it to the bottom of hell.
The Zimmerman case didn’t hurt the media’s image. Instead it confirmed the media’s corrupt and advocacy image for the blacks and dems for those who have seen it’s biased reporting for years.

Our job is to give people not what they want, but what we decide they ought to have.” -Richard Salant, former president of CBS News
We are going to impose our agenda on the coverage, by dealing with issues and subjects that we choose to deal with. - Richard Cohen, Senior Producer, CBS Political News
We are gratful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directores have attended our meetings and respected their promises of descretion for almost forty years.
It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march toward a world government. -David Rockerfeller, founder of the Trilateral Commission, in an address to a meeting of The Trilateral Commission, in June, 1991.
There is no such thing, at this date of the worlds history in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print.
The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth: to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it and what folly is this toasting an independent press?
We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks; they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities, and our lives are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.
-John Swinton, highly respected former Chief of Staff for the New York Times, at the New York Press Club, 1953, when asked to give a simple toast before the New York Press Club, stunned a roomful of admiring peers into total silence with the preceding remarks (as reported in the January, 1993 issue of The National Educator, and also quoted in the book Pure Sociology by Professor Lester T. Ward)
Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. -Thomas Jefferson
There. Fixed it.
Contrariwise.
I think they were enormously successful. Racial dissent has never been higher.
...aaand they're still doing it- pushing an agenda in a story that is modestly self-critical of the media pushing agendas.
The bright spot is that my opinion of the mass media at large couldn't get any lower- so there's really no harm done.
