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. |

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. [link to twitter.com] God bless those who thirst for justice, and all the people who are keeping the lights on for Trayvon. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 13884862 United States 04/06/2012 08:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13723680 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. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13531860 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. |
