Long ago, I came to the realization that the thing I dislike most is when people try to manipulate me. The coverage of this trial was nothing other than an attempt to manipulate the public to serve the vested political interests of partisans and the media itself.

I really can't understand your view on this. To me, the media has got fuck all to do with it.
A young black man is dead because he was:
1) Black
2) Out for a walk
A paranoid, gun toting, vigilante is responsible for his death. The US judicial system lets him off. I care, and I don't even live in the country.
