Gee, what a surprise!

Quote:

While the story behind Trayvon Martin's shooting death continues to grab headlines, interest in the case is sharply divided along partisan and racial lines, according to a new study by Pew Research Center.

Far more Republicans (56%) than Democrats (25%) say there has been too much coverage of Martin's death, according to Pew, which surveyed a "nationally representative sample of 1,000 adults" last Thursday through Sunday about top new stories. http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/04/justice/florida-teen-shooting/index.html

Of course, the MSM has already moved on to more current issues already, as usual, and this will no doubt be quicky forgotten. Until the next time.

I agree to an extent. The media has basically tried the case on their own, even with constantly shifting facts.

I certainly think there's something fishy about the case, and that there should be a triel - but in an actual court. The media is just milking it for ratings, not doing anything positive about it.

Spoon!

I think someone asked about it before, but Story, what the heck is the constant "spoon" thing about?

Oh wait, did you mean people are tired of hearing that Zimmerman is the bad guy? You betcha.

What is going to happen when Z gets cleared (if)? Retractions by them that sought to crucify him?

lol

No, it'll be just left on the side of the road. Like usual.

Until the next "tragedy" of course. Then the mob (your crew) will grab their pitchforks, and torches, and set to the "good works" you so believe you are about.

And what happens if he turns out to be a bigoted and trigger happy as you?

Oprah's launching a new cable network called TMD. The 24-hour Trayvon Martin Death channel will be hosted by visiting celebs including Malik Shabazz, Jeremiah Wright, Todd Bridges, Stymie, and others. Al Sharpton will be interviewing Dred Scott on whether it is legal to drink iced tea out of a can.

Yeah, we're sick of the lies, the spin and the race baiting by the media, the clowns like Sharpton, and even Democrats , who have blatantly misrepresented the facts and intentionally tried to stir up division and hatred, instead of simply letting the process take its course.

( I keep forgetting that Todd Bridges is the only kid from Different Strokes who is still alive. )

Zimmerman is white. He isn't.

Trayvon was shot in the back of the head, execution style. He wasn't.

Zimmerman suffered zero injuries.

Trayvon, as pictured, isn't a 12 yr old, but was in fact 17 years old, stood 6 ft tall, and was hardly a 'skinny kid'.

Which runs into another LIE told by the media. Zimmerman outweighed Martin by 100 ( I think Niki said 130 lbs ? ). False. There was 30-40 lbs difference. 50, tops. Far from the hulking brute , picking on the mild mannered, fresh faced kid as the media tried to portray.

Want more ? Or does that draw you a clear enough picture?

( as if I really need to ask )
