Media Deliberately Misreported George Zimmermann Case from Earliest Moments
— Ace

Interesting piece from John Hayward, building on an argument made by Jacob Sullum at Reason.

The media often defends itself from charges of bias by confessing to other sins -- sensationalism, laziness, simple lack of expertise, etc.

Let's focus on laziness. I believe the press is extremely lazy -- but I also believe this laziness has a strong ideological edge to it.

I divide in my mind reportage into Hard and Easy reporting. Hard reporting consists of ferreting out a story from those who don't wish to divulge it. Easy reporting consists of accepting the spoon-fed claims of lobbying organizations, pressure groups, who hand-deliver all the difficult parts of a story right into a reporter's hand.

It's difficult to know who to ask questions of. But if a pressure group has a list of "experts" or "witnesses" for the reporter to contact, all the reporter has to do is make a couple of phone calls and then type it all up.

There's an ideological edge to this laziness, though: Reporters get their pre-fabricated stories from lobbying groups, politicians, and pressure groups they are predisposed to trusting, and all of these groups lean to the left (or are outright self-identifying as progressive).

The easiest story for a reporter to write is the one that is basically dropped on his desk. To work to get "the other side" of the story, and truly vet claims, would take, well, work.

Consider: Groups aligned with Justice4Trayvon can tip a reporter that there is video showing George Zimmermann looking reasonably healthy as he enters the police station after the attack. These groups probably already have the tape themselves.

It's the easiest thing in the world for ABCNews to now run that tape.

What would take work is to determine Zimmerman's appearance immediately after the beating -- that's not hand-delivered to them by a Justice4Trayvon pressure group, so it would take some work to get the pictures of a battered and bloody Zimmermann from the prosecutors' office. You'd have to do a lot of source-chiseling and favor-trading to get those.

And work is hard. So they don't bother. They have the easy story. Why bother with the full, accurate story?

In addition, it's always the case that agreeing with the herd is the safest position to take. Political correctness is always a good safe harbor for the stupid or uninformed, and every reporter knew that in this case that they would not be challenged nor would they be subject to the scorn of fellow members of their class if they simply went along with the script and demonized George Zimmerman. If they were wrong, they would all be wrong together, and hence they could not suffer, in relative terms, compared to any other member of their class.

On the other hand, pushing back against the demonization of George Zimmerman entailed risks.

Yes, as the media often claims when defending itself, it is indeed incompetent, ignorant, and lazy. Yet if there were not any underlying political bias we'd expect them to be wrong to the benefit of either "side" more or less equally.

But that's not the case at all; their errors run to the benefit of a single "side," consistently. And that's because ideology tells you what to think when you don't quite no what to think; the more unsure of the facts someone is, the more he relies on his basic worldview and ideology as a first approximation for the truth.

And in the case of the media, that first approximation (and the second and third approximations, oftentimes) is the liberal ideology.

Incidentally, the prosecutors today led the case by quoting George Zimmerman as having said, on his cell phone call to the police, "F***in' punks."

Which is what skeptics had said he'd said.

But that's not what the media claimed he said.

And where did they get this story from? From leftwing bloggers and podcasters.

How could they make such an enormous error? And more importantly, how could they possibly feel comfortable making such an enormous error, without any caution at all?

Because they all knew that if they were wrong on George Zimmerman's claim of saying "f***in' coons," not a one of them would ever be called to account for the error by those who matter, other members of the press, other members of the Media-Government Complex, other members of the dominant aristocratic/liberal culture. They could afford to be wrong without any consequences.

The only consequences would fall to George Zimmerman, and their viewers. And they're of a lesser class and racist to boot, so who cares about that?

9 The media makes up its mind on reporting and tone within moments of being on scene.  I remember watching reporters play out their narrative in their minds eye when reporting on a demonstration in my Alma Mater's campus....

facts get bent to confirm the narrative not the reporting to conform with the facts....

absolutely the opposite of good investigatory techniques...

12 I had heard of this case early on and initially read the local papers reports. I then read what the chief of police put up on a special website, i.e., the actual reports and 911 recordings. I couldn't figure out why people were not defending Zimmerman because I was unaware that the MSM was changing all the reports and recordings and even doctoring tapes and photos.

15 The fix has been in with the MFM ever since that "white hispanic" comment.  After that it was obvious that they thought somebody with the last name of Zimmerman was one of those hook nosed bastards of divided allegiance who would be a good target for their manufactured outrage and once that feral cat was out of the bag they couldn't walk it back.  Fuck those fucking fucks.

16 What   some attribute to laziness, I call intentional misrepresentation.  They took the pressure group data not to relieve the burden of doing    the work themselves, but because they    knew that their research would reach the same conclusion, regardless of what the data returned.  The media is not in the business of relating facts anymore, but in the business    of shaping opinion.

20 off topic, but idiot alerts from today's emails:
email from "Organizing for Action) (which is a tax exempt social welfare organization):

Now, this is huge news:  
President Obama is set to announce his plan this week to address the growing threat of climate change.  
We'll know more specifics on Tuesday, but it's expected he'll offer a bold, national approach to reducing carbon pollution -- and lay out a vision to lead global efforts to fight climate change. 
The powerful, well-financed forces who still deny the science behind climate change aren't going to like this -- and they'll be fighting this progress every step of the way. In fact, before he's even seen the plan, House Speaker John Boehner is calling it "absolutely crazy."
That's why President Obama is calling on all of us -- anyone who believes that climate change is a threat -- to join him in taking action right now.

(bold national approach --- watch your wallet, folks)

And  an endorsement from Gen Wes Clark:

 When Hillary Clinton took over as Secretary of State, AmericaÂ’s image around the globe was badly damaged. Since then, weÂ’ve ended the war in Iraq. WeÂ’re winding down in Afghanistan. We decimated al-QaedaÂ’s leadership, and helped democracy grow in the Middle East.

Supporting Hillary is an easy decision for me. I know sheÂ’ll steer us straight at home and represent us right abroad. We all know that Hillary would make the best president for our country.

I view the whole Trayvon-Zimmerman incident as a real life version of Dave Chapelle's "Keeping It Real" sketch.

 

You've got a somewhat questionable guy in Zimmerman who wants to be the hero/watchman guy who is taking the neighborhood watch a little too seriously.  Then you've got Trayvon, the wannabe thug(or perhaps actual thug based on his record).

 

These two people just happen to meet at the exact wrong time and place and it ends with one of them beaten up and another of them dead.

46 For me, the "tell" that the media had shifted into full-bore narrative-creation mode was the way in which they consistently referred to Trayvon Martin by his first name only, while referring to George Zimmerman by his last name only.

First name use is a diminutive thing. It's the way in which one speaks to and of children.

And the preferred narrative of the media is one in which "Zimmerman", the sadistic hulking monster, chose to profile, stalk and murder the tiny, innocent, defenseless child "Trayvon".

That was of course further buttressed by the incessant use by the media of years-distant photographs of a gently smiling TM wreathed in baby fat about about age eleven. Instead of the contemporaneous photographs of the scowling, tattooed, much bigger postpubertal TM, flipping a double bird to the camera.

Mr. Comey continued to vouchsafe the strength of the case against Dr. Hatfill in internal Administration deliberations long after it had become clear that the FBI had fingered the wrong man. Dr. Hatfill ultimately won a $5.8 million settlement from the Justice Department.



Yes, once again the taxpayer gets stiffed for illegal and unethical actions by a public employee.  How about we make a new law that all of the settlement must come from the employee until he and his immediate family are bankrupt before hitting the taxpayer.

As a criminal defense attorney once said to me, there are some professions where you really need to pay up to get the best of the best. Having heart surgery? Don't hire the second-rate doctor. On trial for your life? Don't hire the second-rate trial lawyer.

78 The company had created the perfect political machine, one that could skirt laws and churn out checks like a printing press, all without raising a single suspicion because each donation was for such a small sum of money it did not have to be reported to the public.

The scheme went undetected for at least six years until one of BirdsallÂ’s employees was surreptitiously caught on tape discussing it, touching off an investigation that authorities say uncovered one of the most expansive and sophisticated criminal pay-to-play conspiracies in recent history.

79 Eh, this was a JournoList/WeigoList job from the first.  It gathered steam on leftwing blogs written or edited by people known to have been members of the JournoList.  I remember saying to myself at the time "hmm, this seems like something of a local story, particularly with the election on the horizon."  And then, after a few days of the "cherubic youngster killed for getting Skittles by insane racist cop wannabe" it made national news, and blew up from there.

I sort of think that the JournoListers with the traditional media platforms direct the initial blogging portion of these stories so that they can claim that a story of otherwise local import is "being talked about" and raises issues of "firearms and the intersection of race and justice."

>>what part of the neighbor watch was he taking a little too seriously?

 

Neighborhood watch is/should be some guy who calls the police when he sees someone suspicious. It's actually pretty stupid to approach someone who looks suspicious. The events that took place bear that out.

 

The person you're following could be violent or armed.

 

But Zimmerman probably saw himself as a police officer in his own mind. He approached someone who looked suspicious, a fight ensued and a person was killed.

 

He should have simply called the police. It's actually pretty explanatory in the name. "Neighborhood WATCH". You keep an eye out and call the cops if you see something suspicious.

 

I'm not defending either side here. I think both sides acted stupidly. I think Zimmerman put himself in a bad situation. Although as soon as Trayvon physically attacked him, Zimmerman didn't appear to have any other recourse than to use his firearm.  The entire situation could have been avoided.

That piece of videotape with Zimmerman arriving at the police station had nothing to do with laziness or mistakes.

 

ABC broke the story and ran the video as it appeared.  NBC then took the feed of that video and ran it through their editing machine.

 

When it played on various MSNBC shows, the critical portion of the tape, where a policeman walks around the back of Zimmerman, looks at the back of his head, brushes off something from his shoulders and returns around the front of Zimmerman was cut out.

 

At that moment in the Zimmerman saga, MSNBC and the rest of the media were promoting the narrative that Zimmerman had no apparent injuries.

 

It wasn't lazy.  It took work to edit the video and draft the lies.  This was a concerted campaign to get Zimmerman arrested and convicted.

 

Fucking bastards.

Find him guilty or watch your city burn and potentially become a target of angry blacks. The prosecution will provide enough fig leaves so that they can tell themselves they did the right thing.

And if Zimmerman's intent had been to "approach" Martin, all that Zimmerman would have to have done would have been to open the door and step out of his truck as Martin first came up to it.

149 Nope. Oh, and prepare yourself for a carbon tax, either at the pump or assessed through a device on your car - federally mandated, of course. As to Zimmerman...if they don't get murder 2 they will get him on civil rights violations or something. The wonderful thing about this is that my Dad and my sister live in Orlando. Oh happy day. Posted by: joncelli at June 24, 2013 01:40 PM (RD7QR) I adore the fact that there are now states pushing to add a special surtax on hybrids and all electric vehicles to make up for the fall in gas tax revenue from the use of those vehicles.

The system would have worked if Scott would've told the grievance mongers to STFU and let the system work the way it's supposed to.  It was him getting sand in his vag and appointing that cum dumpster Corey as special prosecutor (memo to Repubs:  This never works out well yet you fall for it every fucking time) because he was afraid that the MFM might react by calling him mean names that led to this runaway train.  He fucked this up very badly.

Yup...and I *know* the law in this type of case from Ohio anyway.

They try to say that "of course Trayvon may have attacked him but hey he was scared!"

Uh "yeah" guess what sports fans that is not a justification for assault....now you'd probably get a pass from Law Enforcement if you gave a slight offensive strike up to closed fist that did not draw blood to establish your space...

MAYBE

You mount and ground and pound you just engaged in a potentially lethal assault end of story...

I don't like what happened BUT what is at stake here is not G Zimmerman and the HOA's judgement in being too cheap to hire a pro it is the very foundation of self-defense doctrine....

NOBODY has the right to maim you or put your life in peril unimpeded and if a person is in sincere fear for their life they can put you down if you engaged in hostility.

The rebuttal is God help you if you use lethal force to secure your life b/c you are going to run the risk of losing your life anyway legally.

None of this is small 'taters and I am extremely weary of the effort by Holder and Florida and Race Bait inc to make "self-defense against blacks" illegal for the same reasons I was angry at the genuine civil rights abuses that took place just prior to my birth....

I believe in the rights of all people.

If Zimmerman is found guilty, then we can chalk up another of of the pillars of  the republic that's been corrupted beyond repair as it exists today.

 

The only reason this  whole incident is national news is because the regime of Dear Leader deemed it so.  They're  opening the door wider for  political incarceration.  They need  a conviction, and they won't stop until they get one.  We just think that someone got to John Roberts.  The DOJ will make  sure the jurors understand their fate if they find Zimmerman not-guilty.

That being said, depending on your neighborhood and state laws, it is not too late for you to buy a gun if you don't already have one.  If you are in California, the waiting period means that it is probably too late for you to take possession of a gun you buy today unless the trial goes on for a long, long time.  Oh, well, at least you will be ready for the next media manufactured race riot.

180 But Zimmerman probably saw himself as a police officer in his own mind. He approached someone who looked suspicious, a fight ensued and a person was killed.

He should have simply called the police. It's actually pretty explanatory in the name. "Neighborhood WATCH". You keep an eye out and call the cops if you see something suspicious.

I'm not defending either side here. I think both sides acted stupidly. I think Zimmerman put himself in a bad situation. Although as soon as Trayvon physically attacked him, Zimmerman didn't appear to have any other recourse than to use his firearm. The entire situation could have been avoided.
Posted by: Ben at June 24, 2013 01:32 PM (C2Y4l)

Could have been avoided by Trayvon not having a single parent home, having strong parental guidance keeping him from the thug life, instead of being suspended and shipped upstate - he should have been incarcerated in a juvie facility.  7/11 needs to consider a policy about not selling the components of Lean - watermelon iced tea and skittles.  The real crime that needs to be investigated is how the parents let him change in a few short years from the innocent looking image they have plastered on every wall - to the prowling, paranoid thug with a gold grill.

Its a shame Zimmerman sustained that beating, he should have been more aware of his surroundings and dropped Trayvon 15ft away.  Its a crying shame that the Sanford police screwed up the PR because of their previous problems with Zimmerman protesting police racial bias and incompetence.

Some here have stated that Arizona cannot recall McCain and Flake.  I found this on the Gateway Pundit.  There doesn't seem to be anything in this that would limit recall of a Senator. 

Federal law may be something else, though.

Arizona Constitution Article 8, Section 1.

“Every public officer in the state of Arizona, holding an elective office, either by election or appointment, is subject to recall from such office by the qualified electors of the electoral district from which candidates are elected to such office. Such electoral district may include the whole state. Such number of said electors as shall equal twenty-five per centum of the number of votes cast at the last preceding general election for all of the candidates for the office held by such officer, may by petition, which shall be known as a recall petition, demand his recall.”

Make it come from the a public employee Union fund.  If nobody screws up the money gets divided among the employees.  If someone does screw up, the money comes from the pot.  That way the other public employees have an incentive to self-regulate.

Read up on the particulars of the Oscar Grant shooting out here in Commiefornia. And the resulting kangaroo trial.

As here, a case where any objective examination of the facts would have resulted in a no-bill, and the defendant walking free, but instead was taken to trial as a murder rap. In response to threats that a failure to bring murder charges would result in massive rioting and property damage.

she has expounded on that pertinent to the case in the context of the left's gymnastics on Zimmerman(who has what 1/4 the African blood Obama does?) being a "white hispanic" the whole paradigm is fallacious...we'll never get past race if we give gold stars based on it...

265 Used to live near a subsidized apartment complex. It was put in the middle of a nice area with single family homes. There was a shopping center right next to that complex, anchor tenant was a grocery store. Very convenient. Except that store was vacant almost the entire time I lived in that neighborhood. There was a grocery story there the year a I moved in. But young black dudes from the subsidized apartments would just ... hang out in front of it all day. Within a year the grocery store went out of business. Suburban housewives refused to walk that gauntlet to get groceries. So they'd drive several miles further to go to the grocery store in the next neighborhood over. I did it twice and had a couple guys eyeballing me and decided, fuck this, so I drove miles further, too. There was a gas station, too. Gas station across the street did 2x as much business. The punk kids were criminals, but they were lazy. Didn't rob much that was more than a few blocks walking distance. We had a blizzard and they broke into a dozen cars in the neighborhood cause the snow blocked the cops from getting into the complex. Neighborhood wasn't happy, I was told, when that complex got approval it wasn't supposed to be reserved for low-income but somebody snuck that in at the last moment.

Maybe Zimmerman should just take some 'personal responsibilty' (you guys love that concept, right?) for picking a fight with an unarmed, innocent teenager, then murdering him when he was getting his ass kicked for starting the fight.  Just a thought.

My neighborhood watch does patrols.   If they see a person who seems out of place in the community they approach and ask if they can be of assistance in locating a specific residence or resident.   They do not automatically call the police unless they actually observe illegal activity or results of possible illegal activity ( open door, window, etc).  

 

Seems to me that Zimmerman went over and beyond the requirement of prudent caution.  I'm not on our neighborhood watch but if I see someone in the neighborhood who is suspicious I will approach them.   I've done it before and I'll do it again.   If they decide they want to harm me,  I guess I'll be in the same situation as Zimmerman.   Maybe not though since I'm in Texas. 

 

We don't even indict  people  who blow away suspected  burglars exiting  your neighbors home.   God  bless Texas.

After he attacked and began beating Zimmerman, the shooting was perfectly reasonable and sensible. But after Tawana, Duke lacrosse, etc. the race-profiteers still desperately need a scalp.

Seems to me, people who want to convict Zimmerman will find reasons why they think George Zimmerman did things they think George Zimmerman shouldn't have done.

 

So far, I've yet to see one good argument that shows how Zimmerman did anything that could be remotely construed as illegal. 

 

The burden of proof remains on the prosecution to prove he did.  I can't imagine how they are going to do that.  Whether you think Zimmerman erred in some other way is frankly, irrelevant.

334 The following is not trying to raise "volk" awareness. It simply is. Today we have, in the Zimmerman "white Hispanic" case, the soon-to-be-done amnesty, and the Supreme Court refusal to act completely in race-based college admissions, a common thread that a young twenty-something "white", and in particular a white male, and in very particular a young, white male from the South, needs to understand completely, so that he is under no illusions about his country: What that young person needs to understand, especially if his talent is low to middling, is that his society has quite consciously decided that just about everytime his demographic goes up against someone else's for something where only one can get the nod, he is going to lose, nine times out of ten. If not ten out of ten. It's not that it is open season on "lower middle class/working class" white men, it's just that no one cares what hapens to them if they can feel good about helping someone else. This includes the Marco Rubio-led Republican Party. Just not that into that demographic, you know?

336 It should be noted that it was Reuters (Reuters!) not the NYT or a Florida newspaper that sent a reporter to Zimmerman's neighborhood to interview residents. There we learned that there had been more than half a dozen burglaries, at least one of which was hot, and that the suspects in most, if not all, of the break-ins were black males. We got grandstanding and attitude rather than basic reporting.

Personally, I think that Captain Affirmative Action and his minions are hoping for a little civil unrest resulting from Zimmerman's farcical charges. And I would add that the SCUM is every bit as complicit in this stupid trial having assisted forming and promulgating the narrative, delivered by race baiters and fear mongers like Sharpton, Jackson, Farrakahn, and Holder. I'm not trying to sound like some kind of conspiracy nut, but then again I never thought I would see aggressive undermining of basic rights in this country willingly aided by the GOP either. If your own government is spying on you and is intimidating people based on their political convictions and aspirations, then crafting and promulgating a narrative using the SCUM is not unbelievable. Fuck'em ALL. Whew! I feel better now. Thanks for letting me vent. I need to go have a scotch before the NSA minions get here.

It's undisputed that he shot and killed Trayvon.  The defense concedes this as true, so they prosecution doesn't really have to prove it.

The defendant can't just say "it was self defense, now you prove it wasn't" and expect an acquittal.

Sure, I guess I wasn't being specific, in that they still have to show what he did was illegal.  Technically, the jury can't assume just because you pull a trigger, and  the bullet results in death, that a crime has occurred. 

 

It changes the dynamic of what the defense has to do, of course, but still, the burden of proof remains with the prosecution to show there was  something illegal about it.

They do, but only until they are 18 or 19.  They go downhill quickly after that.  I think it's the traditional diet. 

It probably doesn't help that many of those lovely ladies are preyed upon by 35 year old Hispanic men.  When I was a missionary it was very typical to find out the family we'd visited with had a 14 year old girl who was living with her "boyfriend" who was 37.

I've done it before and did rather well actually but seriously what makes you think any sane person seeks out physical conflict?


I was paid fairly well to subject myself to the risk of violence and to take attacks on a principle if need be.

You think I ever "wanted" violent confrontation?

With one exception where I snapped the answer would be no, and I interdicted an assault in progress.

The zealousness of my action led to a DPD friend of mine suggesting I not go into Law Enforcement and I heeded that but *why* precisely do you fantasize the right wants to fight your mythical "would be champion" the "angry black teen?"

I mean I am aware c**ts like you wish to use them as shock troops in riots and to intimidate the public but why would I prefer to fight or be afraid of anyone if I can get paid just to walk the line?

439 There will be no riots during or after the Zimmerman trial. Anywhere. At the first sign of trouble, word will be sent to start storing all WIC, SNAP, Section 8 and other Public Assistance checks. EBT and all Direct Deposit payments will be flagged. Once trouble starts, EBT turns off. All Public Assistance is halted. Once the situation is handled, things will begin to return to normal. Naturally, this will vary from location to location and state to state. If you want to eat food-food and sleep inside something at least approaching a human dwelling ... make sure you take your sunglasses off and hold your hat in your hand when you apply to your patron to resume your EBT ...

Especially if they are cranked up on PCP or meth or just red rage.  Years ago, my husband's BIL had a half-brother who was prone to those red rages when drinking.  Ronnie was a little, skinny, wiry guy, but, when he went into one of his rages, he could outfight 4-6 really big guys--because he was not feeling the pain, no matter how badly they were hurting him, which was often bad enough to put him in the hospital in critical condition.

446 Not so cool when your the only non-Mormon in the neighborhood and all the jack Mormons like to drop by a drink in your garage.

Yeah, I can understand that.   Why didn't they hang out at the other Jack Mormon houses once they found each other?  Were they hiding their drinking from their families?

Honestly, I think their theory is  convincing a jury to ignore facts, and convict on their outrage.  Which I suppose is possible, but I sincerely doubt it. 

 

The left, on the other hand, is taking a win/win view of the whole thing.  Convict, and we can put  the fear in anybody  who lawfully uses their guns.  Lose, and we get to riot the riot of outrageous outrage.

I caught hell from the local PD once because I had a crackhead pull a knife on me at a distance of about 15 feet and I just lit him up with pepper spray, then followed up with a couple nightstick shots to the leg, instead of shooting him. Like I told them though, I have no desire to actually kill anyone, and I worked for a private company, not the city. We were all pretty sure if push came to shove our boss would find a way to cut us loose rather than back us up.

473 So according to the defense opening, Martin approached Zimmerman twice. First time, Zimmerman was on the phone and Martin backed off or ran. Second time, Zimmerman was off the phone. Isn't this significant? Did Martin back off the first time because the phone would create a record. Rather than go home, won't the defense argue that Martin waited until Martin was off the phone and then attacked? Zimmerman's atty took a different approach and simply pointed out that Martin did not go home after the first encounter.

My "worst" was when a "horizontal refreshment talent counselor" was beating up his gymnastic therapy worker around the holidays at a mall I was working with a small grocery inside...there were 5 pound turkey breasts in a bunker and I grabbed one and blindsided him and beat him silly with it.

My friend a Sgt with Metro PD gave me the fatherly talk about "Judge, Jury Executioner meets "misuse of disproportional force"....

I decided not to go to PD for a bit, and eventually moved on to logistics.

I never wanted a confrontation hard, but I knew that approaching violence having to fight acting like an infantryman is taught to act in the bear pit was gonna get me an intimate relationship with a nice civil suit defense lawyer sooner or later....

the wife worked for a law firm with one on board BUT she was a non cougarish 50 something and I was not well off enough to have the habit.

I am not sure that nation wide riots is going to work to the Democrats advantage.  Most people of any race prefer to have a peaceful life.  For the most part they want to see the law upheld and a period of anarchy right near their homes is going to remind them of that.  Then there are the various scandals who's common thread is that the Obama administration is lawless.  When everything is copacetic, the Republican reputation for law and order diminishes in importance compared to free shit.  When a store that you have shopped in is looted and burned, personal safety looms larger as a voting consideration.



And last but not least there are the LIVs who voted for Obama on the theory that if they voted for a black man there would not be any more race riots.  Those people will feel that somebody broke the deal.



That is why it will be a disaster for Democrats if Zimmerman is not convicted.

498 Democrats usually have PR specialists who create "narratives" that have almost nothing to do with facts or the truth. The media swallows it whole. The Zimmerman case had a PR guy who worked for the Trayvon family personal injury lawyer who spun stories that were pushed from almost day one. Almost every single bit of it was lies, fantasy, or demonic spin. Democratic candidates do the same thing. They sell "stories" also known as lies. Obama is a constitutional law scholar and genius who was raised in a magical exotic land by the Fae. It is true because they repeat it endlessly.

A simpler way to put all this would have been that as soon as they heard that a nominally white guy was patrolling his neighborhood, and ended up shooting a black kid, they started to salivate, and ALL they wanted to see and hear from that point on was that some white guy was out hunting black kids - even if they had to doctor the evidence to see and hear it. They rely of victimhood for their power, and racism is their favorite flavor (it's the easiest). They DESPERATELY wanted it to be real, and so they did their best to make it real.

 

They didn't care that it was, for example, absurd that a guy who's out hunting people would call 911, and give them a play-by-play. Nothing else has supported what they wanted. The guy was even mixed-ethnicity, and with a history of standing up for blacks - they don't care - he's STILL a white racist, as far as they're concerned.
