“Seattle radio host John Carlson–who… initially thought Zimmerman guilty–notes:
One of the most important, and remarkably under-publicized facts that came out at trial is that one of the detectives, while interrogating Zimmerman at the police station that night, told him that the entire incident had been caught on surveillance video. The detective was bluffing, but Zimmerman didn’t know that. His reaction: ‘Thank God.’
‘Thank God.’ How many people who do something wrong, lie about it and are told it’s on tape react that way?”
Remarkably under-publicized? Oh, come on. It hardly fits the Narrative pushed by our feckless president and his race baiter pals. It’s way too telling.
UPDATE: Rare reader Darkwater sends this link to PJMedia journalist Bill Whittle’s excellant, fully-sourced takedown of the lies told about Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman by, variously, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the President of the United States and the U.S. Attorney General. They should hang their heads in shame, if they have any shame, which I doubt.
















Bill Whittle provides one of the best expositions I’ve heard on the case:

Thank you very much for the link. I updated the post with it. I’d heard a few references to Whittle’s take but had no idea it was so excellent. The fools who read the New York Times should send their subscription money to a real journalist, Bill Whittle.
No, really… I read all the time. 😉
If you mean you read the NYTimes all the time, then you are wasting your time. Years ago when I worked at a paper in New Jersey I learned they could not be trusted. I competed with them on New Jersey stories where they regularly reported falsehoods, twisting the facts to fit their New York agenda, and they rarely corrected themselves when caught at it.
The “paper of record”? Perish the thought.
I may be wrong, but I think the NYT never has called itself the “paper of record.” That’s usually said in sarcasm by its critics. They do use the slogan “all the news that’s fit to print.” Which critics in the biz turn around to “all the news that fits,” meaning all that can be wrapped around the ads.
