Not saying that Zimmerman's innocent, but every story I've read from mainstream media paints a picture that simply isn't true. |
I think it's less inentional and more they just jumped on the first likely interpetation of the case... and once the media has a story it's hard for them to "change" it and admit they were wrong.
The dangerous part is that most people stick to the media's first interpetatrion. Most people aren't paying attention to the trial so if he gets off, most people will assume it's just another white guy getting off killing a black kid. (Even though he's hispanic, but the media reported he was white earlier on.)
Which he may be... but either way, based on just how bad it feels like they're botching it... it's hard to not see reasonable doubt.
