I’m left with the impression that I’m missing something important about the way the media can’t seem to let this story go. Now, after a couple of weeks of testimony, where it is clear to any unbiased observer that Zimmerman is manifestly not guilty of “murder”, didn’t follow Martin, didn’t start the fight and only resorted to deadly force when he was on the ground, beaten and choked, they still can’t drop the narrative.
Why would the Guardian commission this piece? I guess the author delivered what was wanted, but is it just to sell papers? Surely there’s a bit more organization behind all of this.
Well, it IS the Guardian. Their leanings are quite well known. Think of it as equivalent to The New York Times, The Boston Globe and The LA Times.
