I must say M$NBComcast's coverage of the murder of Trayvon and their

[malaise]

non-stop exposure of attempt to stop the vote has softened my view of the entire network.

[CatWoman]

1. Rev. Al has a hot one on now

you watching?

[malaise]

2. Absolutely

Zimmerman is up shit creek without a paddle here

[CatWoman]

3. word

[malaise]

4. Can you imagine what that 13 year old is going through right now

This woman is credible

The lead investigator told her that this was not self-defense - this was stereotyping.

Fugging Wow!!

[CatWoman]

5. this is hugh!!

[malaise]

7. One big coverup

They fugged up big time - they got caught.

[HangOnKids]

8. What's Happening?

What 13 year old?

[malaise]

9. Remember from early we heard that a 13 year was walking his dog

and saw a man on the ground screaming. Then he heard a gunshot and the screams stopped. He wanted to walk over to the man but his dog ran from his leash and he ran behind him.
This is huge.

23. I believe his mother actually signed up here.. yup, I believe it's her.

25. Thanks

I posted on her thread

[HipChick]

6. Bombshell....

[malaise]

13. As Rev Al says this is stunning news

particularly the lead investigator saying that this was not self defense.
This was cold-blooded murder and these fuckers must pay.
There is no justice.
What's more they kept that kid's body in the morgue without calling his parents for three fugging days and they had his cell phone.

[X_Digger]

15. Actually your last point isn't quite true..

http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20581404,00.html

The next morning, when he woke up, Tracy realized that Trayvon had not returned home.

"I started making calls, and I reached my nephew," Martin says. "He said he hadn't seen Trayvon. Then I really started getting worried. So I called the Sheriff's department to file a missing persons report. I let them know it hadn't been 24 hours, but it was unusual for Trayvon not to return home."

Three police cars soon pulled up

[malaise]

16. I'm only repeating what I've heard

Thanks for that link

[X_Digger]

22. *nod* I understand..

Lots of partial information, missing information, MISinformation, and DISinformation (from the right) going on.

[arcane1]

10. Is that the kid who was walking his dog? n/t

[CatWoman]

12. yes, Father

[EmeraldCityGrl]

11. This interview was huge. How high did this cover-up go? n/t

[malaise]

14. Looks like very high

I wonder if Zimmerman's father is involved - justice is in hands like his - no wonder black men have no chance.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

18. The lead investigator did not believe Zimmerman's story...

He and Lee ( the chief that temporarily stepped down) met with the State Attorney General
IN PERSON THAT NIGHT! State Attorney General states an investigation will be done initiated by him.

Why were they ( higher ups) protecting Zimmerman that night? If Zimmerman's nose was broke and he had a
head wound why was he not sent to the hospital for evidence at the very least?

This is unbelievable on every level!

[CatWoman]

17. maybe Mr. Oliver can provide some insight

[malaise]

26. Getting up off the floor

[fascisthunter]

19. Not wishing this, but I can see Zimmerman being on a suicide watch

I do not think he'd do well in a prison and I bet he knows that too.

[CatWoman]

21. he had absolutely no business fucking with that kid

he assigned the roles of judge, jury and executioner all to himself.

[fascisthunter]

24. you won't get any disagreement from me... I want justice

because if this shit slides, just think of the precedent it would set.

[CatWoman]

30. we're cool

[fascisthunter]

32. ok cool... I never mess with cats

I'm one

[CatWoman]

35. !!!

[EmeraldCityGrl]

29. I want to see him judged by a jury in court. I want to see

every politician, employee of the judicial system, and law enforcement officer
involved in this cover-up held accountable and exposed for what they are. Florida
is a corrupt, racially biased state. Let every other state operating under the same
premise be terrified they will also be held accountable. That would be justice.
Justice for Trayvon goes far beyond Zimmerman.

I don't mean to be over dramatic but, this case is potentially an historic example
of racial inequality in the 21st century American justice system.

[fascisthunter]

31. Oh it is... As I replied to CatWoman... this sets a very dangerous precedent

if this creep gets off. As for the rest surrounding this debacle, you damn right they need to be held accountable. This isn't the Soviet Union... and make no mistake, the right wingers were jealous of the authoritarian and totalitarian system that once shrouded Russia and its neighboring countries.

20. I saw some graph recently showing that CNN has actually been giving this case the most coverage BUT

it's the quality of the coverage that we are getting on Msnbc that has been amazing.

From what I've seen on CNN, and it hasn't been that much, it has been reported right down the middle.

Between Lawrence and Al, they have been digging & digging for the truth.
Everyday I am blown away with what I have learned on their shows.

They have been doing a great job.

[malaise]

27. Excellent point

[spanone]

28. yep....k&r..

[Rosco T.]

33. Then why the insulting way of naming the network...

it's MSNBC.

[malaise]

34. You're lucky I didn't add

my GEM$NBComcast because it is still a corporate entity owned by GE and Comcast.
