How much is the MEDIA to blame for the vigilantism that is happening as a result of Trayvon Martin's death?

By the news articles and opinions they publish SLANTED toward making a rush to judgment before all the facts are fully known, by publishing pictures of the victim smiling and the perpetrator with a 'mug shot', and by calling the shooter 'white' instead of mixed race or Hispanic decent? Would not justice be better served if we all waited until the investigations are complete? Things ARE NOT always as they initially seem...

    The media is heavily to blame. Unfortunately, slanted news is the norm anymore, and if you want the full truth it is necessary to use electronic news sources, and not the mass media. The mass media has had an ultra-liberal bias for years now, and it is extremely obvious they have an agenda to push.

    Some things that the media is doing is even a blatant conflict of interest. For instance, The Reverend Al Sharpton held a protest rally about the shooting, and then turned around in his role as a news personality and covered himself. Now he's making the news, and then covering it.

    What vigilantism has resulted from the Trayvon Martin case. i'm no longer attempting to be facetious, I basically have not heard of something of the type as a results of media spectacle revolving around this incident. i individually have self belief, as interestingly you do additionally, that each physique the data would desire to come to mild formerly judgment is solid (that would not advise that i've got self belief Zimmerman acted in self-protection or that he's accountable of homicide, I basically think of the equipment is there for a reason and we would desire to allow it take its direction).

    The media reports as they "wan things to be" not as they are. We are daily being manipulated by the media.

    They are partly to blame for this mess. They report when they don't have all the facts so it turns out to be biased and erroneous.

    The biggest point I have heard is the police telling Z to stop following and he didn't do it. That alone would have stopped this disaster.

    The professional race baiters (Al, Jesse and Barack) are using the Florida incident to stir up race hate for their own personal gain.

    And you better believe that none of those three want you to be able to defend yourself from street thugs.
