And that's what has the mighty-whitey-righties so up in the arms they keep and bear. This was a case they hoped would be quickly forgotten about, and then when it wasn't, they decided they'd play the false-equivalency game and start screaming "But what about all the OTHER shootings?!"

And when challenged to show us which other shootings they were talking about in which the identity of the shooter was known, he was questioned by police, then given back his gun and sent on his way... they vanished. And now they want the story to vanish, too, and they're extremely pissed that it hasn't, and shows no sign of just conveniently disappearing.

Storybook - it's not being widely reported, but that doesn't mean it didn't take place. I'd provide links, but you'd ridicule or dismiss them anyways, pretending things weren't said, and carry on w/ your head in the sand. It's your way. I get that.

Here ya go, anyway. http://thewesternexperience.com/2012/03/27/was-trayvon-martin-shot-in-

kwickie - the ACORN tapes weren't altered to distort what events actually took place. Neither were the Breitbart videos.

But you're clearly too brain locked to admit that.

Prove msnbc called Zimmerman hispanic, from the very start, if you can, or just drop this nonsense of hypothetical 'what ifs' .

In your own words:

goose sauce = gander sauce, n'est-ce pas?

Nope. Back ON the sauce.

I'm sure this was brought up before but... people who watch Faux Nooz exclusively and listen to talk radio the rest of the time are complaining about biased coverage?

Yo! You guys! Are you the pot calling the kettle... er... black?

That's because Fox and conservative talk radio are telling them it is bias.

It is also the difference between many liberal and conservatives. Liberals just want the facts so they can form their own opinions. Conservatives what the opinions so they can come up with their own facts.

I'm not getting into this ridiculous shit, but I will offer some information and say this: As in EVERY story, misinformation comes out initially and is clarified later on. That's exactly what's happened here, and with the shooting over in Oakland, and with every other similar happening. We are still getting updated facts about the Oakland shooting, and more information as it is gathered.

Zimmerman was initially reported as Caucasian; that was changed the minute the facts came out. I never ONCE heard Trayvon was shot in the back of the head, from ANY news source. Zimmerman appeared to have no injuries; once the tape was enhanced there is "something" visible on the back of his head. I haven't yet heard what it is, how serious it is, or anything else.

As to Trayvon's size and weight; Trayvon was DEAD, remember, and his body gone. All people had to go on initially was an old picture of Zimmerman in which he was pudgy, and whatever the family told the police. I doubt Trayvon was weighed or examined, given all the other mistakes made.

Now, I haven't heard from day one that Trayvon was anything but 17 years old. Dunno where that came from. I heard updates from MSNBC and CNN both showing the enhanced video and the fact that "something" is visible on the back of Zimmerman's head. That's all anyone knows at this point, as far as I can tell. I also heard the correction of Trayvon's size and weight from both sources AND other MSM; dunno how they got the correct figures, but given the only way to know that would be from information like his driver's license or other identifying material, and he (unlike Zimmerman) had no police record, I imagine they had to dig to find it out. That's called reporting.

CNN went even further. They had enhanced the words muttered under Zimmerman's breath, which is what brought the feds to town. They went on to enhance it FURTHER and listen again, and agreed that it sounded like he said "fucking COLD", rather than what people thought at first, and that it meant the feds would probably go away, since there was no further indication of racism or profiling.

The MSM has consistently called Zimmerman a "neighborhood watch captain", missing the fact that he's apprently he ONLY person who VOLUNTEERED to do the neighborhood watch, and is captain of nothing. I haven't heard that anywhere, and only found it on a couple of stories on the internet. If they wanted to make him look worse, I think they'd have reported that. There's something else they've updated and clarified, but I can't remember what it was just now. All the updated information I listed above I heard last night, so I hadn't reported it here yet, as I just got up.

Gee, what bastards the media are, lying like that!

Me, I'm following it because I find it interesting to "investigate" the only way I can...but following it on the internet and when it comes up on TV. Since I only watch TV in the evening and only come here in the morning, I get my news fairly late.

All reporters had to go on initially was what the police and family told them and what the police video showed. The information will continue to be updated and come out as time goes on, just like every other story in the world. I can imagine the FAMILY hasn't been very helpful when it comes to telling facts which might make Trayvon look worse, and as far as I know, what was reported initially came from those on the scene and the police and family. Given Trayvon is dead, and was lying on the ground, and the police essentially did no investigation, I don't know how anyone else would be able to determine his weight or height.

To say FauxNews is impartial is such a joke it's not even funny anymore, just boring. One only has to look back at the faked rally photo and other things to know that's not true. Anyone who claims Breitbart's material
