There are instances of violence involving children every day.  Would you like the President to comment on all of them?  The President commented on the Trayvon Martin killing not because it was violence involving youth, but because it was [b]a national story that proved very divisive.[/b][/quote]

Well [i]this[/i] would be too if more people had heard about it. [/quote]

This is the stupidity of the FNC-cultivated bubble.  Rather than using their pulpit to tell the news, they use it to talk about the news.  How often does FNC (you know, the most watched cable news channel) and other members of the conservative media industrial complex (4 of the top 9 radio shows) bitch about how the media isn't covering something... ignoring that they are the media and they are opting to cover the coverage instead of actually cover the story?

It is self-fulfilling, woe-is-me, self-victimization.  "Wahhh... no one listens to us... it's bias... it's a conspiracy."  No... no one listens to you because every time you are given a forum, you fill it with whining instead of actual substance.[/quote]

Um, FNC and other conservative media IS covering those stories - which is why they are wondering why mainstream isn't. [/quote]

THEY ARE THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA!!!  THAT IS WHAT YOU DON'T GET!  Just because they aren't the only voice doesn't mean they aren't mainstream.

When they first reported the story, they pushed the racial angle.  When they interviewed the leading police officer, he repeated that there was no evidence of race being a factor.  What'd they do?  Ignore him and push the racial angle anyway.  That's not news.  That's not reporting.  That is editorializing.  Don't bitch when your unsubstantiated narrative isn't supported by others.[/quote]

According to liberal media and liberals, they are NOT mainstream; they are 'faux news' after all. Isn't that what you call them?

The racial angle to this, as you call it, is that the same voices calling Zimmerman a racist are dead-silent.  DEAD silent.[/quote]

Show me a mainstream media source that called Zimmerman racist.  One with at least half the audience of Fox.[/quote]
