They are really pushing for the zimmerman not to be charged, they are saying the video is inconclusive for some ready, apparently their journos, cant tell if his head was smashed against the concrete.
The reasons why they are lying is this, they want riots, they want black people to riot, they want their bigoted viewers to think "well black people are rioting and Obama is Black, so..."
That is the level they will go to, it's disgusting.

(120 posts)Earlier today, several prominent blogs came out with headlines that there shouldn't be a "rush to judgment" in the case. In addition, other articles revealed that Trayvon's autopsy was "being discussed" by Florida officials, with no details provided.
My take is that the autopsy shows that Trayvon was shot in the back. Thus, the shooting was an execution, not remotely an instance of self-defense.

sounds like Charlie Manson, and Helter Skelter

(1,928 posts)as long as the African-American community doesn't riot. Then Fox's hopes and plans are dashed.
It seems a rather stupid plan, to be honest, and maybe it is their plan. But to pin it all on the irrationality of a specific group seems to be a very dumb strategy.
I think a simpler explanation is that they're trying to make this black/"white" (latino) issue a republican/democratic issue, or, even more likely, a media issue where the black is always presumed the innocent and the "white" (latino) is always presumed guilty. Its just victimage politics.
But who knows, you could be right; Fox could be this stupid in its confidence that the African-American community is likely to riot. What sort of mind does it take to think up such nonsense and to think so lowly of a specific group of citizens?
