        We have to many race baiters at the present time. Good luck in getting the news out.

          I like how you guys have been talking and arguing about this trial for months, sometimes daily, sometimes hourly, and then you pretend to be upset that the media talked about the trial as well.

          Some incidents capture the nation's attention. Some don't. There are reasons for this. You're all some of those reasons.

            Yep, like to draw attention away from PRISM as well as the Bradley Manning trial. Wag the Dog irl.

              I really don't think that's it. For the most part the nation gave a big yawn to the NSA/PRISM story. It's not some sort of planned distraction. Most Americans simply don't care about the things Snowden revealed.

              I'll give you one example: I've got a good friend/former coworker who works on one of the MSNBC shows. The host of this show really, really didn't want to cover the Zimmerman trial, especially every day. However, she was instructed to by MSNBC execs. Because while you guys wonder about why the media covers these things, and pretend you'd have no interest in them if the media didn't blanket the airwaves with trial coverage, that's what America was interested in watching. This is what America is talking about. You guys are talking about a trial, and have been for months. And then you wonder why the media is covering it.

              Well, it's been said before, the world is a stage

              A different performance with every age

              So open up the history book to any old page

              Bring on the lions and open the cage

                  Well the Roman promoters really did things right

                  They needed a show that would clearly excite.

                  The attendance was sparse so they put on a fight

                  And threw the Christians to the lions, sold out every night

                    Thats BS Heck. The press given to this is what caused the interest to begin with. How many killings happen daily that no one ever hears about? The only reason this one did is because a white/hispanic and a black were involved, and the black one was killed. Otherwise it would have never made the news except locally.

                      Can you guys think of a topic on this board that got more people to weigh in on it, and more often, than this trial? I can't.

                        Yes, and you all loved every minute of it! Hence the wall-to-wall coverage.

                          Actually I didn't. I'm glad he got off because the charges were bogus. But I would have preferred to never have heard about it in the first place. This is just a distraction from all of Obama's failures.

                            The charges were so bogus it's split the nation into two camps and originally split the jury into three for acquittal, two for guilty of manslaughter, and one for guilty of second degree murder.

                                The Snowden story isn't even about what he revealed anymore anyway. It's about where he is, where he's going, who is going to take him, and what's his dancer girlfriend going to wear next.

                                And I don't watch MSNBC. Very few people do, in fact. But that should give you an idea of the constraints some of them work under. This host is really bright and wants to do better programming, but was told to stick on the Zimmerman trial to try and maximize ratings. In the end, MSNBC got clobbered on this by Fox News and CNN.

                                MSNBC is in the same position that Air America was. The audience that wants to hear partisan liberal opinion day in and day out just isn't very large. It's dwarfed by the conservative audience for that stuff.

                                  The truth is, so much of the media has a liberal talking point narrative. They play up to it viciously.

                                  For instance, NBC should lose a big lawsuit - they played/created? the edited tape of Zimmerman's statements

                                  to make him look terribly racist. It was a lie. That's how libs live. Lies.

                                    Yeah, I get that, I just get irritated that the average American cares more about Honey Boo Boo and this farce of a trial than the fact that the government is eroding our constitutional rights. Looks like Huxley and Orwell were both right.

                                      It's always instructive when you realize that for all the talk of MSNBC and Fox, you're talking about very small percentages of the population. A really highly-rated cable news show like O'Reilly will pull in something like 2.5 million viewers a night. That's really, really good. One of those MSNBC hosts in hipster glasses will get you about 800,000.

                                      The average American isn't watching either one. If it makes you feel better, there are about 8 million who watch the NewsHour on PBS each week, and that's clearly the best news program on television, and by a wide margin.

                                        ..... its like a love affair that the media has with this pitiful SHitty prosecution team

                                        to ask. " what do you think of George Zimmerman?"

                                          Do they still pull viewing numbers from Nielsen boxes?
