I Told You So!

Is it only me, or does anyone else find it interesting how LONG it took for" actual pictures" of Mr. Zimmermans head injuries and facial injuries to reach the public in the media?
Seems that if they were efficient in providing the public a "reality check" type photo of his injuries it could have helped reassure the citizens there were facts to be understood before they lined up to invite Jesse or Al Sharpton to lead a protest... Again it wouldnt have been as exciting for the Media...they NEED their excitement to cover, their controversy to exploit even if its side effects are the division of our society. It pays their bills....

You hit this one on the head Dick! I took a journalism class in college and the prof stated that "sensationalism sells newspapers not recipes". Jim
