    How was were the other two photos obtained? I assume Zimmerman's attorney released the smiling suit photo. Who owns the copyright on Martin's second photo? And is the original high-res and good enough so it can be cropped for a mug shot?

    You do know that the bottom right photo in your collage is of a completely different Trayvon Martin, right?

    Also that top right photo was from within a year of his death.

    tony's awesome when he's especially gullible.

    Are you going to run and hide from this idiocy as well?

    Back to YF for a second: You really do have some points to make about reader perception and what we as "the media" do that causes certain perceptions. That's worth discussing.

    Why you chose to wrap those points into your "I'm going to explain how the media really works, in front of an entire message board of media professionals" shtick, I have no idea.

    Perhaps it's good for the media professionals to hear what well read readers
    perceive. Clearly YF is well read from a wide range of sources and can see the
    ambiguities and inconsistencies in various stories on same subject. It's good
    that there are still people who want to use their own intuitive reasoning rather
    that just accepting whatever news is put out.

    I agree. That's why I'm doing my due diligence on the Christopher Lane case. I figure the Trayvon case is already in capable truth-seeking hands between you and YF.

    Is the new thread title a copy-editing test?

    I'm sure the paper he used to work for misses his fact-finding skills.

    Are there still truth-seekers working the Andrew Breitbart death? Or do we need to assign new ones? It may be a while, with all of this newfound demand.
