#Trayvon: @MattGutmanABC redeems self w/ exclusive photo of Zimmerman’s bloody head

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a detailed post on the overwhelming evidence of mainstream media bias and narrative setting in the tragic Trayvon Martin case, which has thrust America into yet another race war thanks in no small part to MSM outlets like NBC and ABC, but also because of the usual race hustlers like Rev. Al Sharpton and Rev. Jesse Jackson pulling their usual manipulative tricks. Specifically, I focused on the blatant bias of ABC News journalist Matt Gutman’s Twitter feed, in which he declared, without evidence, that George Zimmerman “stalked, cornered, and killed” Trayvon Martin “because he was black and wearing a hoodie” (see numerous examples of Gutman’s bias on Twitter here).

Β  Β The reality was much different: Trayvon was a 17 y/o teenager & former football player with a slim build who sometimes wore gold “grills” for teeth like you see many rappers do, and Zimmerman is a businessman in his late 20s, and – according to police reports – weighed only about 10 more lbs than Martin......   [Read More]
