This thread is about keeping track of the undeniable lies, bias and spin the Mainstream Media has committed in the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case.
This story was spun from the beginning to paint George Zimmerman as a crazed racist, and Trayvon Martin as an angelic, candy-loving child.
Why? And who was giving the orders to do it?
1. They altered the "hoodie" photo - lightened it and softened it up. [link to www.ihatethemedia.com]
2. NBC edited audio of Zimmerman's phone call to a police dispatcher, seeming to show Zimmerman saying, "This guy looks like he's up to no good … he looks black."
The complete 911 call shows that Zimmerman said, "This guy looks like he's up to no good. Or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about."
The 911 officer responded saying, "OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic?"
"He looks black," Zimmerman said.
Cutting that section out completely changed the context.

3. The media has continued to show old photos of Trayvon from when he appears to be about 12 years old, instead of recent photos which show him in a much less flattering light.
4. The media lied about Trayvon's school suspensions. The initial reports were that the suspension(s) were for being in an unauthorized area and for tardiness rather than for having been found with drug paraphernalia.
Yet the media was quick to sensationalize any negatives they could find from Zimmerman's past.
This is not a full list, feel free to add to it. These are just the main offenses I can think of right now.
The media has completely vilified Zimmerman while white-washing all things Trayvon.
Where are the FACTS? Why the bias? Why the editorializing? Why are they not being held accountable?
