Agreed.

What the media should have done was used the smiling picture of Zimmerman as well as an older picture of Trayvon:

When Alveda King comes out on the record and chastises Sharpton and Jackson for fear and race mongering, you should know when you are on the wrong side of the fence.

The choice of photos has nothing to do with the case, but everything to do with it's politicization by the press and the democratic party (unless someone has photos of other party representatives wearing hoodies and asking for mob justice).

The press did not elevate this case to national prominence out of empathy for anyone involved, they did it simply because they (mistakenly I think) thought it would advance their political agenda, an agenda that absolutely depends on fostering divisions within the citizenry, racial, economic, any divisions they can manage.

The backstory on this case is easily as compelling, yet no one in DC is grandstanding about it:

Parents of murdered British students criticise Barack Obama


The parents of two British students murdered in Florida have criticised President Barack Obama for his lack of compassion over their son's deaths.

Odumbo’s failure to respond to three letters sent to the White House was because there was no "political value" and not worthy of a few minutes of his time.

They spoke out as teenager Shawn Tyson began a life sentence after being found guilty of the murder of James Cooper and James Kouzaris last April.

The 17 year old [Shawn Tyson], who shot the men as they begged for their lives, will die in prison.
