I know, Trayvon would never have done anything like that.

Damn, you are one darkie-hatin' fool.

The utter loathing for Trayvon, for being who he was, I guess, quite apart from whether Zimm was legally justified in icing him, is really starting to bubble over in some circles...

I don't loathe Trayvon. I just disagree with the one-sided & frankly dishonest way he was originally portrayed in the media.

As the "unarmed black kid" before, or the "unarmed black kid" afterwards?

Funny, I don't think Fox News has wavered one bit of their one-sided and frankly dishonest portrayal of him.  Which news are you watching?

Unarmed black kid to dangerous looking black man.  The kind that stands outside of voting places threatening people ensuring an Obama victory and destruction of the United States.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

So you watch Fox News?  How have they portrayed him?

Sounds like a rather ethnic statement from Fox News.
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

They're very ethnicky over there.  Just ask Laura Ingraham.

I wish she hadn't had cancer and then gone off the deep end. :(

I thought it was rather telling how, in Zimmerman's written statement, he constantly referred to Martin as "the suspect".

By acting suspicious one can make himself a suspect.
Since he's not a police officer, Zim doesn't have the right to label anyone a suspect of anything.

Not a fan of free speech, huh?

QuoteGeorge Zimmerman coverage bolsters HLN

By Hal BoedekerStaff writer

If you wonder why the George Zimmerman trial is gaining so much coverage lately across Fox News Channel, CNN and MSNBC, just look at the HLN ratings for the first full week of testimony.

Last week, HLN's total day audience jumped 85 percent over the previous four-week average. HLN averaged 492,000 total viewers last week, up from 266,000 for the previous four weeks.

In the 25-to-54 age group, which is most important to news advertisers, the audience jumped 83 percent. Last week HLN was averaging 181,000 viewers, up from 99,000 for the previous four weeks.

Over on CNN, Anderson Cooper's 10 p.m. show on the Zimmerman trial performed well Monday. It was CNN's most-watched show in prime time with 765,000 viewers. And the program also had CNN's biggest 25-to-54 audience all day: 335,000.
When I have more cable ratings, I will share them.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Ms. Jeantel was worth the price of admission, and I'm sad I missed the no-speaka-english with huge jugs.  The rest seems like it's been kinda meh.
