Roseanne on The View: "Zimmerman should have STOOD HIS GROUND in his CAR like the police told him"



(CNN) -- The man accused of killing an unarmed Florida teenager dropped plans for a second television interview after the ABC network would not provide a month of "shelter and security" for his family, his attorney said Thursday.

George Zimmerman had been in talks with ABC's show "The View" about an interview to be aired Thursday, a day after he sat down with Fox News commentator Sean Hannity. One of the show's hosts, Barbara Walters, told viewers Thursday that she had been forced to scrub the plans when Zimmerman demanded "a condition that we could not agree to."

Walters would not specify the demand, but Zimmerman's lawyer, Mark O'Mara, told CNN that Zimmerman "asked for shelter and security for his wife for a month. They said they could not do that." Zimmerman had not yet agreed to sit for questions from ABC, O'Mara said, and "decided to wait on doing another interview."

But near the end of Thursday's show, Walters said Zimmerman called in and offered to talk. She refused.

She actually suggested the audience for The View should donate money to a person who is on trial for murdering an unarmed person. She has sunk to the standards of what was heard on Rwandan radio a decade ago.

Ms. Walters has always been over rated. So many, many people she's interviewed have sucked up to her, she truly believes she's a queen of journalism. The part that grabbed me was her congratulating Insanity for getting the interview. It's all about ratings.
