George Zimmerman Trial: which network did you watch?

1) Which Network did you watch?

2) How did you feel about their coverage?

3) What would have your verdict been?

Myself:

1) CNN 45% of the time, HLN 45% of the time, FOX and MSNBC 5% of time. (News junkie)

2) CNN was the best coverage (though I usually think they are biased, and though the anchors were certainly biased, until the verdict was read it was fair. HLN, that network should be brought up on charges. If you are an attorney, you can't skew the law like they did...or willful omission of facts. FOX, had virtually my thought process on the matter. MSNBC always biased, nothing new

3) Not Guilty. Sad that a life was taken, but I always stand by self defense. I don't fight so this could have been me. Both made bad impulsive decisions, but Zimmerman's wasn't criminal. It still is very sad.

    As a rule my wife and I tune in to FOX.

    Whenever we tune-in to another network we feel we are in another country, not America!

    The coverage on FOX was good especially due to the the vast, knowledgeable & professional guests

    brought on to render opinion & law facts.

    As for the coverage, it was an absolute 'circus'!

    The case was brought to trial before an adequate 'legal prosecution case' was determined.

    The Law was sacrificed for the sake of political and racial pressure.

    The 'verdict' is the one positive aspect of this tragically divisive example of 'mob-mentality'!

    A fact to ponder; both men had cell phones.....Zimmerman called 911.....Martin called his girlfriend,

    when a person feels in danger, who do they call...?

    I don't watch the propaganda networks _ I prefer news - I stick to the I-net.
