I find it interesting that Conservatives are actually capable of recognizing bias... but only when it's bias that disagrees with their agenda... never one that agrees.
When I read a lawyer, defending his client, I recognize his view is biased. When I read (or watch)Fox, I feel see it the same way. An article from Media Matters or dailykos is also suspect of being biased.
Much of what is put out by Breitbart isn't just bias... it's factually incorrect, yet it passes as fact here.
When a black man is murdered by a white man... this board calls it Race Baiting, and selective outrage. The response to a black being killed by a white is a kind of justification of killing the black, with a dozen examples of a white being killed by a black... as if somehow that will negate the injustice of both killings.
If a white teen was murdered in Rotterdam by a Zimmerman type white man under the same circumstances and there were no arrests... there would be outrage here. But the only outrage in the Zimmerman killing of Martin... is outrage supporting the killer and portraying him as a victim.
You have no idea what my view is on this issue. In the future please refrain from using the term "this board" as it implies everyone who is a member here has the same point of view. If that were the case, then you would have to include yourself as you are also a member of "this board". Thank you for your future cooperation.

The only thing being portrayed is that Zimmerman is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Isn't that what happens when its the other way around? I wonder what the racial Outcry would be if Zimmerman was Zimmernez instead and was 100% Hispanic? It's the 50% white blood and the anglo surname that allows the race baiters to use the race card. Why is it universally accepted for Tiger Woods, Halley Berry and President Obama to be called African American when none of them are more than 50% black? BUT we call Zimmerman white or white-hispanic when the same percentage of race make-up is there? Is that consistent? Or is it more convenient to fit the Agenda?

I see no difference what color the victim or what color the killer... unless the crime is racially motivated. By some reports, it may be racially motivated... but that is yet to be seen. I do find much of the responses to be racially motivated. As I posted above, a similar killing when both involved were white, that occured in Rotterdam, this board (except for Alias of course) would be outraged.

I'm not asking if you do or not. I really don't think about race,or hate, or some other accessory reason when a crime is committed...I think about the crime, the victim and the suspected perp. A crime is a crime. In this example, race IS being pushed by the press, Sharpton, Oprah and just about any else in front of a mike. Let's face it, it is always OK to blame the white part of someone in a racially charged event, but not any other part. Just like its always OK to highlight the minority part of someones racial make-up and ignore the white portion when a milestone or achievement is reached. And its done by the SAME people who flagging this crime as racial.

Trayvon Martin: ABC enhances George Zimmerman video 9:31 a.m. EST, April 2, 2012|By Hal Boedeker, Sentinel Staff Writer
ABC News has re-digitized video of George Zimmerman taken shortly after Trayvon Martin's shooting.
The video was unveiled as an exclusive this morning on "Good Morning America." ABC was the first news organization to show the original tape.
Reporter Matt Gutman said the clearer video shows "what appear to be a pair of gashes or welts on George Zimmerman's head."
Neighborhood Watch volunteer Zimmerman has said he shot 17-year-old Trayvon in self-defense. The video shows Zimmerman arriving at the Sanford Police Department within an hour after the shooting.
Gutman said the video had been "clarified" by Forensic Protection Inc. Former FBI Special Agent Brad Garrett told ABC that the clearer video shows "marks on the back of Mr. Zimmerman's head."
Apparently they were not serious enough for a trip to a doctor... until the next day. They didn't even appear in the original video... and the broken nose???

Where's Mark Fuhrman? This case has to have a racist cop like Mark Fuhrman. This is an obvious cover-up by the honkey cops covering for the white hispanic.
Also, what do you mean by "origianal video"? Are you telling me that ABC is now on your list of untrustworthy news sources?

The Original Video! The one that wasn't enhanced to show the blood and bandages on Zimmerman's head... Oh Yea. No blood... NO bandages... and not much of a mark... It's funny that you mentioned "self inflicted wounds". If you just shot an unarmed man... you'd better have some alibi... no matter how feeble. A few scratches on his head and a grass stained jacket... Yea... that'll do it!

The honky Cops are covering this up. The investigation and eye witness account by the police that first arrived on the scene are not trustworthy if the cops are white. The video at the police station clearly shows the shooter on the grassy knoll.
Box, be careful, It looks like you are developing Zimmerman Derangement Syndrome.

Zimmerman Derangement Syndrome??? Cicero, you were the one who proposed that Zimmerman has "self inflicted wounds"... not I.

NBC probe centers on staffer in shooting story error
By Christopher Francescani and Peter Lauria Thu Apr 5, 2012 10:34pm EDT (Reuters) - An internal NBC News probe has determined a "seasoned" producer was to blame for a misleading clip of a 911 call that the network broadcast during its coverage of the Trayvon Martin shooting, according to two sources at the network.
NBC News brass interviewed more than half a dozen staffers during its investigation of the misleadingly edited 911 call placed by George Zimmerman just before he shot the unarmed Florida teenager, said the sources, one of whom is an executive at the network.
The clip aired on the network's flagship "Today" morning show last week.
The edit made it appear that Zimmerman immediately told police that Martin was black, when, in fact, the full tape reveals that the neighborhood watch captain only did so when responding to a question posed by a dispatcher.
There was no clear indication on Thursday of what, if any, disciplinary actions would be taken against the producer or other staff involved in the incident.
The sources at the network, who declined to identify the producer, said NBC News executives did not know the 911 call was misleadingly edited until news reports surfaced days later on right-leaning blogs including Newsbusters.org and Breitbart.com.
All news outlets make mistakes... even NutBusters. Propaganda is a different issue.
