Of course, it's the media's fault. Sigh
Come on Smoot. The media plays a big part in how people react to things. When this first hit the scene there were clear agendas. Editing the tape to make it look like a racial killing. Portraying Martin as if he was some innocent kid just merely going to store for skittles and even reporting incorrect facts in the case. Should we blame the people that believe mass media? I guess that's a valid point too.

Well first of all you make it sound like Al Sharpton was sent down all expenses paid by "te media" Secondly, what NBC edits and airs doesnt reflect what Fox does, what ABC does, what CNN does, what BBC does and so on. There have been multiple angles on this from multiple sources, so don't just lump it all as one big "the media"

I agree there should be public scrutiny of trials, maybe have the proceedings kept private and show them on Court TV or equivalent after the trial.

That wasn't my intention of making it seem as the the media had anything to do with Al Sharpton showing up. They do in the sense of how they covered it non-stop. If this wasn't reported, he would never show. That said, I understand that not all the media did the things I said, I'm just saying "media" in a general sense. Just like not all the media stated incorrect facts during the boston bombing. Point taken though. I'll change that to a "some of the media" in regards to the points I'm making.

Cue wrongful death suit.What are the odds (your guess) on Zimmerman being guilty there?
edit: And any word on the jurors saying why they acquitted? (evidence, lack of, one side very believable or not?, ????)
