At what point are we going to hold the media accountable for their part in these Trayvon retaliation attacks? How many innocent people have been beaten, some within an inch of their lives, due to anger stirred up by the media's portrayal of the Trayvon case (even before the facts were in)?
They latched onto this case and have stoked the fires of racial tension to the point where they've inspired several hate crimes. Do they have any responsibility for these attacks due to the biased and one-sided nature of how they covered this story? Should their methods and motives be questioned when their coverage of this story has led to even more violence?

The media doesn't have to be held accountable. GZ has to be held accountable, if he would have just let travon go and not stopped him, we wouldn't be having this discussion. That is fact.
This is the result of the race baiting and "call to violence" on the part of a great deal of the MSM, as well as some cultural leaders. The MSM has achieved their goal, of "creating" even more news via the latest round of violence. Little better than vultures.

GZ has been arrested and is being held accountable for his actions. When will the head of NBC? Or Al Sharpton? Jessie Jackson? All are barely a step away from a conspiracy to commit murder charge. If the head of a KKK chapter called on his followers to commit murder, he would be charged even if he wasn't the one that pulled the trigger. As he should. Why are these other characters not facing similar charges?

what excactly would you charge them with? Talking about racial aspect of this case. I know white people want to believe that racism ended back in 2008, but it still exist today.

THE SAME FREAKING THING THAT THE KKK WOULD BE CHARGED WITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Conspiracy to commit murder.

In the case of NBC, they have lied repeatedly about the case. They have altered evidence (audio tapes). They have turned an isolated case that started with no racial overtones into a rallying call for racial divisiveness and violence. "Conspiracy to committ murder" might be a stretch. But, it's not legal to yell "fire" in a crowded theater just to watch people getting trampled in a panic. Why is it acceptable for a "news" organization to do comparable things just to incite violence, in order to generate more "news" stories?

1. You are naive to believe that racial tones didn't exist the minute that situation went down. We didn't need the media to bring out the racial aspect.
2. I'm still trying to figure out how they incited violence? That was going to happen without the need to alter evidence. A white man killed a black kid, you are giving the media way too much credit.
