#Trayvon: 2 months after shooting, MSM finally gives a more complete background on Zimmerman
Read this. It’s a lengthy and detailed account about the life of George Zimmerman prior to the tragic killing of Trayvon Martin, and once you read it, you’ll get the same impression of Zimmerman that I and many others have gotten over the last couple of months in spite of the mainstream media’s desperate campaign to make him out to be a cold-blooded racist who set out to “murder” a black teenager: A quiet but enthusiastic and ambitious man concerned about his family and his neighborhood after a series of break-ins, not a nosy busybody/racist who wanted to snoop around in everyone’s business, specifically black people’s business because of some alleged “ingrained hatred” for them.
#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). The bias in that series of Tweets were primary examples of how the mainstream media, in the early days of their “reporting”, created a destructive, false, and dangerous race narrative about the killing of Trayvon Martin, even going so far as to describe Zimmerman as a “white Hispanic” … as if his “white” half couldn’t contain itself when it came to “stalking, cornering, and killing” a teenager “because he was black.”
#Trayvon: MSM takes direct hit w/ @NBC’s firing of unnamed producer over 911 call “edit error”
The NYT’s Media Decoder blog reports that an unnamed NBC producer has been fired over the now-infamous 911 call edit aired on the Today show in which it sounded like George Zimmerman brought up Trayvon Martin’s race without prompting from the 911 dispatcher (via Memeorandum):
