Media's High-Tech Lynching Of George Zimmerman

Bias: Evidence revealed so far in the Trayvon Martin murder trial shatters the media narrative that shooter George Zimmerman acted as a rabid racist hunting down an angelic black boy.

For a full week last year after the tragedy, NBC "Nightly News" and "Today" ran audio tape of Zimmerman allegedly telling a 911 dispatcher, "This guy looks like he's up to no good. He looks black."

To an audience that didn't know better, that was damning evidence — a seemingly open-and-shut case of racial profiling. Only, it was a frame-up.

NBC producers doctored the recording to portray Zimmerman as a bigot. In the unedited 911 call, the dispatcher asks Zimmerman to describe Martin's skin color. Yet NBC made it seem as if Zimmerman targeted him because he was black and edited the exchange to look like he believed blacks in general are up to no good.

Other examples of biased media coverage included:

• ABC News originally claiming Zimmerman had no visible signs of injury based on a fuzzy video that later, when enhanced, clearly showed wounds to his head.

• CNN isolating part of a 911 call and speculating Zimmerman could be heard in the background calling Martin a racial slur, when in fact he did no such thing.

• Networks broadcasting photos of Martin as a pre-teen, ignoring the social-media photos of the 17-year-old smoking, shooting the middle finger and glowering at the camera with gold teeth.

Major media also ignored Martin's criminal history.

At the time of the shooting, he was visiting Zimmerman's townhouse complex in Sanford, Fla., from Miami, where he'd been suspended from school after officials found burglary tools and allegedly stolen jewelry in his backpack.

“The others that follow-on, (and you can use your imagination here,) are the ones to worry about, they are the ones who will cause lasting damage and pain.”

For sure. The 400 lb federal slob amebas who eat doughnuts and cheese tacos all day at their desks will turn into 10-foot tall Rambos who shit cop-killer 9mm bullets out their arses and hit targets at 500 meters or better.

It’s good to know that military analysts like you are around to tell us that we’re f***d

Thanks sergeantdave,

That’s not exactly who “I” was thinking about, but they sound interesting in a videogame sense. However Reality bites and the ones I worry about carry ‘briefcases’ for the most part.

I’ve wondered if it has been ordered that Travon’s past has been hidden to make Obama not look like the jerk he is after coming out saying what he did about him.

I’ve dealt with a number of briefcase-carrying officials.

Show them where the momma-san lives and her stable of hookers, and they re out of the picture. The briefcase traitors, including the CIA, the DIA and the state department, are not relevant players when TSHTF.

If you think so, you watch too many bullshit Hollywood movies.

Kaddhafi getting his brains blown out on the hood of an SUV and his elite palace guard hanging from lampposts is reality.

Hillary the Nazi mouse screaming Eek! Eek! is also realty.

It’s a win-win for the leftists. If whites don’t retaliate, they continue to suffer attack. If they do retaliate, the left and their lapdog media will portray the whites as racist haters for defending themselves.

One approach might be to retaliate against the media a few times. If a few media vans go up in flames while filming the riots they so love, the media might be more circumspect about covering them in gory detail.

"Oh look, the youths are approaching the building! I hope they burn it for some great footage! .... And Freddy's Fashion Mart goes up in flames! Hurrah, rioters!"

The old media covered up the Soviet show trials. The new media does the same in liberal FL or wherever they need to do so.

don’t forget the ability to skim from programs that ‘help the poor’.

Think of 500,000$ jobs supervising agricultural ‘job training’ so the unemployed can learn the mad skills to compete with illegal aliens.

And we must not forget that Obama said if he had a son he would look like Travon.
