    It is really starting to **** me off how the media are reporting this.

    BBC: George Zimmerman is cleared of murdering black teenager Trayvon Martin

    Sky: George Zimmerman is found not guilty over the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin

    ITV: George Zimmerman has been acquitted of all charges for the fatal shooting of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin

    The Sun: gunman is cleared of killing black teenager

    This comes after one of the major news channels in america doctored the 911 call to make Zimmerman sound racist by removing a section of the call to make it sound like he opened the call by saying something along the lines of 'a man is acting suspicious, he looks black' when actually he only ever mentioned him being black later in the call when he was specifically asked by the operator what race he was.

    And many news sources are still using photoshopped images of Trayvon (which are photoshopped to make him look sweeter, more innocent and clean cut than the original photos show) and photos taken years earlier when he was around 13 years old.

    Just report the facts please without trying to stir up racial tension you moral-less tossers

    they also probably didnt report that for a numbers of years George Zimmerman and his wife were mentors to 2 african american children and when funding was pulled by the state the Zimmermans took it upon themselves to carry on mentoring the kids.

    The media don't always like to let the facts get in the way of a good story.

    It's even worse over here. The press has stirred this up and are inciting people. We had riots last night and more protests planned today. The President and DOJ have both waded in on this story and made it a race issue, when it is not. They haven't chipped in on the other 30,000 murders each year. I was disappointed to see the BBC use the old picture of TM to make him look angelic, as all the news outlets do over here. Also, they have to refer to GZ as White, as it stirs up the divide more than him being Hispanic, which he is.

    Out of interest, how long is Trayvon's rap sheet?

    They interviewed a relative on the radio and her surname was Felon.
