The media has no business sensationalizing this story. The overriding emphasis here is to portray Zimmerman as a murdering white man, who preyed on a black kid. It's the lynch mob metality with a FCC 'license to kill'. We are a nation of laws, the court system is the judge, the jury, and if necessary will become the executoner. The only people who know what happened were at the scene. If there are witnesses let them testify. And let the courts take care of the matter.

Apart from that, murder of any human is equally serious despite skin color, and we have laws on the books to deal with murder. The media, none the less, considers themselves to be in the seat of judgement and this is more than apparent when one listens to them make their case in the court of public opinion. If you think that's a stupid political discussion so be it. But, it is biased reporting meant to sway the opinions of people in a very particular and narrow view. That view is one of racial bigotry, and literally hundreds of black folks heard in the news, are up in arms about this most notably, Jackson, Sharpton, and the New Black Panther Party. I've heard dozens of quotes from black folks calling for Zimmerman's head, openly declaring this to be a open and shut case of racial "profiling". You tell me J'day, where are all these folks getting their opinions from if not the media? Now, I'm missing something if that isn't political, and why do the Democrats otherwise portray themselves as the champions of minorities? Just one more thing, Sharpton and Jackson could not be any more Democrat if they wanted to.

It's a good thing the media got involved. The police had no intentions of doing anything until it got media attention. They even said they had no cause to look into it. That is, until the media, and the loudmouths made them look into it.
