Well…quite a bit, as it turns out. They had a compelling narrative that matched their agenda — no need to dig deeper. Especially as it started to fall apart around their eyes and ears…which only compelled the MFM to bury their heads and ignore the facts that were emerging.
I love this spot-on opening paragraph at American Thinker:
Unnerved by an unspoken mix of political bias and racial queasiness, the major media have chosen to know as little about Trayvon Martin as they know about Barack Obama.
And more:
The media’s willful ignorance was on display again this past week. In reporting this news of George Zimmerman’s return to jail, more than a few media outlets showed the dangerously deceptive image of Trayvon as 11-year-old cherub. They did so in the assumption that the narrative was still theirs to control. It is not. The blogs, which have been doing the real detective work on this case, have long since taken control away from them.
The sites I have found must useful are the Daily Caller and conservativetreehouse.com. What follows is largely culled from those sites and their independent contributors. By probing Trayon’s background and parsing his social media chatter, they have put together a picture of a disturbed young man that begins to makes sense of the events that unfolded on that fateful rainy night of February 26.
Go read the entire thing.
Sadly, I do not believe it’s possible for Zimmerman to get a fair trial. The MFM has all but assured that.

Stunning article. I read it last week; prior to that point I had no idea about the Lean.
Yeah, Zimmerman is screwed. I think he’ll walk, but he’ll never have a normal life again. Never. There may be certain parts of the country where he could attempt to live a normal life, and maybe succeed, (West Texas, Utah, Idaho, Pacific Northwest) but who’d hire him? Who’d sell him a house?
I pity the poor bastard. I really do. I don’t feel he’s a heroic figure, in that he merely reacted to circumstances forced upon him, but I feel badly for him.
I don’t think Zimmerman will ever go to trial. He still has an immunity hearing required by Florida’s SYG law and there is no jury, only a judge who could rule Zimmerman acted accordingly and grant him immunity from not only criminal prosecution, but from civil charges. That is what this is really all about, the TrayDMark parents and their attorneys had to have an arrest and a trial, they don’t care what the verdict is as long as there is a trial so they can then sue anyone and every one with a pocket associated with the shooting death, to include the state of Florida.
Of course the judge could be as politicized as Angela Corey and deny him immunity, but the facts of the case are certainly in Zimmerman’s favor. I also think Zimmerman has an excellent opportunity to file suit against the TrayDMark attorneys and their publicist.
Excellent article, which proves his innocence. Unfortunately, the riots will ensue if found not guilty.
They will never hold their own accountable for their actions. Complete idiots to believe the main stream media.
The “this racist country fucked us again” attitude will just give them another excuse to loot and hurt innocent people.
They are well aware they are killing each other in record numbers but could care less because most of them accept that drugs, obtaining welfare, and generally having disdain for the country they live in is the norm for predominately most of their community.
Most of their “sweet baby boys” are just thugs in training without fathers and hold no regard for anyone other than themselves.
Gratefully, we live far from any areas congregated with these types of people.
