The media is typically bias against the accused murderer.

People seem surprised in this case.

Only because they are politically motivated with this case. If it was some black dude that was accused of robbing a convenience store we all know paul wouldn't care.

I look at those picture and nothing in the situation changes in any way.The fact that it dose change things for some of you,says more about you than the media.

I thought the same thing. Oh look, a 17 year old black guy all dressed up for middle school.

If by "fair" you mean "stupid" then yeah it's fair.

You don't think public opinion would be influenced if they'd used the 2nd set of pictures instead of the first?

Public opinion was pretty strong before any photos were released, at least in this part of the country. And what possible reason would "the media" have for skewing this? Is "the media" biased against Hispanics with German last names? Or do teh blacks now control the media?

And do you have any evidence that this other picture was out there and available at the time this was reported? is it possible that "the media" was simply showing the only picture they had of the guy at the time? Hell, I saw that bottom picture of Zimmerman on TV last night (Dateline NBC, where the B stands for BIASED!) so it isn't like there's some conspiracy afoot to suppress it.

I would not be surprised in the least to discover that the NRA or someone else who supports these stupid Stand Your Ground laws behind that obviously biased jpeg you posted above.

So it's biased to show both sets of pictures but it wasn't biased to just show the one set?

Got it.
