Trayvon Martin case exposes worst in media
The Trayvon Martin case has exposed some of the media's worst tendencies--selective editing, rushing to judgment, stoking anger for ratings and page views--and it's taken more than fake photos, the incendiary stumbles of Geraldo Rivera and Spike Lee and verbal clashes between Piers Morgan and Toure to shine a light on them.

3. In an flailing effort to break news in a month-old shooting, CBS News aired an interview with Richard Kurtz, the funeral director who handled Trayvon Martin's burial.

"There were no physical signs like there had been a scuffle," Kurtz declared, which the network said proves Zimmerman's claims of a violent encounter with Martin before the shooting are false. "The hands--I didn't see any knuckles, bruises or what have you, and that is something we would have covered up if it would have been there. He looked perfectly normal to me when he came in and the story just does not make sense that he was in this type of scuffle or fight in anything that we could see."

Except, he said, the gunshot wound.

It's just awful, thank god for Youtube and Twitter.






I am truly heartened by the woman in the video above, who mentions Toronto4Trayvon, a twitter account that promotes a grassroots campaign to obtain justice.

God bless those who thirst for justice, and all the people who are keeping the lights on for Trayvon.

The media doesn't get it, it's confused.

They think this is a case about hoodies. It's not. It's a case about the failure to enforce the law and our freedon is consequently jeopardized.

We need to restore it.

didn't the media try to COMPLETELY IGNORE the story until weeks later when the parents kicked up a stink?

It's because the media are ALL libtards. Journalism in particular and the universities in general fell to Marxism in the 1960's. Everyone who has graduated with a BA in any liberal arts area (like journalism) is a hateful, unthinking, libtard robot.

No, the media, under orders from the White House, needed something to distract from the backfiring "birth control" cascade of sophistry orchestrated by the White House.
