ABC Not Sure Whether Death Threats In Trayvon Martin Aftermath 'Going Too Far'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Is it right to make death threats against George Zimmerman and his family? ABC News isn't sure. In a Good Morning America news segment today on the Trayvon Martin case, as the ABC reporter spoke from Sanford, Florida, this graphic was displayed across the bottom of the screen:

"ARE DEATH THREATS GOING TOO FAR?"

ABC has been the worst with this story— publishing the name of a minor witness, hiding scars...

If it is determined they are not, please let us know.

It would save a lot of debate space here on FR, as everybody would tumble to a “the winning argument”.

Yes. The local WFTV in Orlando (ABC) is always showing the video of Zimmerman with the police and that he “shows no injuries.” They are truly trying to prove a point.

There’s plenty of self policing on here as to those sort of comments. It astounds me that there are no repercussions for those making threats.Bounties even!
I guess the real lesson once more driven home is its not what is said but rather who says it. If we were the one’s making threats or posting bounties we’d have already been locked up.

The local ABC station here in Orlando is the one that got all this started. They "Investigated" it and found Zimmerman guilty then announced it on live news complete with some interviews.
The other local stations not wanting to be outdone chimed in with so called evidence against Mr. Zimmerman, then enter Al & Jessie, good by any hope of getting the TRUTH. . . .

If we make that when we have the riots the blood will be on WFTV local channel 9 here. . . .

What "Point" would they be trying to prove? It sounds more like they are trying to manufacture or sway public opinion.

If they are talking about threats to sharpton and jackson, then they have not gone far enough.

So, if I made death threats against ABC's executives and obama, would that be going too far? Gee, let's produce a story and discuss this!

Next on ABC: Would lynch mobs and burning down all the white-Hispanic people's houses be going to far?

Lord, these people are evil.

They are trying to prove they were right from the start that he had no injuries. Yes. They also are trying to sway public opinion. But Fox35 in Orlando and Tampa Fox station is bringing the truth out.

Good one. Like the way we nominate GOP presidential candidates, right?

Maybe, just maybe, when Zimmerman is found hanging on the end of a noose. But even then ABC may not be sure.

But as far as believing their crap. No way Jose’oh is that racist. ha ha ha

If that’s what ABC believes and words are no longer important or to be regarded seriously, I take it that I can say what I think of the new black pampers without repercussion. If death threats aren’t a hate crime, nothing is.

ABC "news" did not display such understanding and had no problem going along with the liberal crowd screaming about targeting a political opponent for defeat in the next election is far too threatening and dangerous for the opponent..

Sarah Palin's 'Crosshairs' Ad Dominates Gabrielle Giffords Debate

No surprise of course, It's what they do. The MSM advocates. They are a part of the aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus spoiled brats and their bratty ideological issue, arguably the Establishment.

Well, “Whitey” has it coming, don’tcha know; he oppressed “disadvantaged” people for decades. So, whatever Obama and his lapdog media can do to incite a race war that will halt the election (that the black man, Obama might lose) is justified. Even organizing the “swift justice” lynching of Zimmerman (who is white enough to serve the purpose, thank you very much).

Sarah Palin, on the other hand, as a “lily Whitey” cannot even so much as publish MAP LOCATION MARKINGS on her brochures because they resemble RIFLE SIGHTS, and, and, and she kills MOOSES.
