Trayvon Martin Case

Speaking of agendas, half-truths, etc.



Sarah Palin, doctored Trayvon Martin tape: Shame on NBC News - baltimoresun.com (http://www.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/tv/z-on-tv-blog/bal-sarah-palin-trayvon-martin-911-tape-katie-couric-nbc-news-20120402,0,7231989.story)

Regardless of whether or not it changes anyone's perception, why edit it in the first place. The reporting on this matter has been abysmal. <sigh>

oh wow that is really pathetic by NBC.

There should be some sort of FCC regulations that prevent agencies from doing this. Doctoring/editing footage to incite racial issues is about the scummiest thing you could do. You understand now why I have such a disdain for corporate media?

I thought that had been post prior to now what they did. CBS did the same thing to Bush using fake documents about his service.

Hard to know if this goes here or in the pics for sharing thread. But this works for me.

I absolutely detest the public media and how they've covered this case. They continue to make Trayvon's appearance as it was years ago, and not the Trayvon that was current. It's obvious to what they are doing and it's a shame a man could be convicted just off of public cries due to the influence they get from the media.

If the DA has enough evidence to counter Zimmerman's story, then by all means they need to proceed with a trial and arrest. From the sounds of it, this seems like a DA bending to public cries much like the Duke Lacrosse rape scandal. We all saw how that turned out.

Does it really matter how he looked? Is the life of someone who dresses like a hood rat worth more than someone who dresses like a tender naive shelter child?

A life lost is a life lost.

I'm far more concerned about what actually happened than how this kid looked at the time of death.

Ultimately it doesn't matter how anyone "looked". At the same time, if you can't see the media spin and how they came out full bore on the race issue in this matter, I think you're denying some other realities. The photos chosen were clearly done with the intent of maximizing sympathy for Martin and for demonizing Zimmerman.

From the initial characterization of Zimmerman as white (modified to White Hispanic - a term I have never seen before and doubt I will ever see again), the choice of photographs, the editing of the 911 tape, it is clear the media had an agenda. It was an agenda that served no one well - but it sure sold a lot of papers and air time.
