I don't watch MSM, don't read it except here, 'coz where does our information come from (with small exceptions)? What is the MSM narrative? That a man carrying a gun shot dead an unarmed teenager or another race? And that, BIG, BIG SURPRISE! he claimed it was in self-defense? Like you and many here, I expected that George would say something like the following:

No, I'm not Jewish. My grandfather was a German SS colonel and right after the WWII he fell in love with Cuban cigars and emigrated to Cuba. Myself, I hate Negroes, who are causing so much trouble in the neighbourhood, and I am glad to have eliminated one of the troublemakers.

That's what we expected (with minor variations) and were SHOCKED, SHOCKED, when George said "self-defense".

I post a lot of stories from local stations and local papers. Interesting stories that do not make the MSM. The MSM has a filtering process that sorts out what is acceptable or not.

I would include AP in the MSM.

I am glad that you do not watch television, neither do I. When I do, I am shocked at the disparity of what I perceive as reality, and what the major networks display as reality.

We all tend to see what we expect.

If Zimmerman had been black, this would not have been a national story.

If Martin had been Hispanic, this would not have been a national story.

Do you believe it out of the realm of plausibility that George Zimmerman acted in self defense?
