Kevin CunninghamBUMPED – As a direct result of the ABC video manipulation story on Zimmerman we rec’d a tip to dig a little deeper and aim the Looking Glass toward: Matt Gutman, Candace Smith, Kevin Cunningham, Jess Kutch and Howard University.    (Within complex corrupt systems often there will be a few people uncomfortable with the “illicit agendas'” surrounding them – such is the case with the aforementioned tip).

So if we grab our Looking Glass, stand atop an April 2nd Daily Caller Piece guest authored by Chuck Rudd, and look around, what will we find?    Let’s go look:

(Daily Caller – April 2nd 2012)  Last week, Breitbart.com revealed that NBC had edited the tape of  George Zimmerman’s 911 call in a way that makes Zimmerman, the man who shot  Florida teenager Trayvon Martin in February, look racist. Even Kevin Drum, a  blogger for the left-wing magazine Mother Jones, called NBC’s deceptive editing  of the tape a “cockup.”

But the edited 911 tape is just the tip of the iceberg;  mainstream journalists have consistently misreported the facts surrounding  Martin’s shooting. It’s enough to raise questions about the integrity of those  journalists, and whether they’re allowing their personal biases to affect their  reporting.

Nowhere is this bias more apparent than in the case of ABC News reporter Matt  Gutman. Gutman has broken at least three important stories on the Martin  shooting.

      • He was the first to suggest that the Sanford police had ignored  witnesses’ testimony about the facts surrounding the shooting.
      • He was the first  to report that Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump had obtained an affidavit  from Martin’s girlfriend in which she gives a timeline that starkly contradicts  the one that is central to Zimmerman’s defense.
      • And he was the first to obtain a  copy of a Sanford police surveillance video that many initially agreed showed  very little damage to Zimmerman’s face and head (though it has since become  clear that the video does indeed show signs of bruising and swelling on  Zimmerman’s nose and head).

But there’s reason to question Gutman’s impartiality. In fact, it’s clear  from his Twitter feed that he’s sympathetic to Martin and critical of Zimmerman.

On March 13, Gutman tweeted, “Sanford FL neighborhood watch  captain who shot 17 yr old teen bc he was black, wore hoodie walking slowly,  likely not 2 be arrested. #Trayvon.”

On the same day, Gutman passed along a tweet seeking signatures for a Change.org  petition from Martin’s parents that accuses Zimmerman of “murdering” Martin and  calls for Zimmerman’s arrest.

And on March 16, Gutman tweeted, “Prepare to hear the chilling 911  tapes from #Trayvon Martin shooting. Neighborhood watchman stalks him shoots him  down. Screams help! On @GMA.”

Gutman may turn out to be correct, and perhaps in hindsight we’ll all realize  that we should have signed that Change.org petition to get the Sanford police to  arrest Zimmerman. But all of that was speculation when Gutman tweeted about it,  and it remains speculation now.

Mainstream journalists have a virtual monopoly on the facts surrounding  Martin’s death; the public is arguing over the few scraps they’re being thrown.  So the question becomes, can we trust the journalists who are charged with  sifting through the facts of this case — or any other?  (article link)

Here is what I find VERY INTERESTING, Look at the date and TIME of the Friday March 16th tweet and compare it to media reports of the time of day the Scheme Team was in Mayor Tripletts’ office listening to the tapes and demanding release.

Gutman tweet 911 tapes

Reports are there is 6-7 different 911 calls on the CD listened to by the Mayor and the Scheme Team.   Police Chief Lee had previously denied repeated requests for their release, which was the correct lawful thing to do.  Considering the calls recorded the actual death of a person, the 911 call audio falls under Florida’s Earnhardt Law which prohibits public release.

[The Earnhardt law deems Florida’s medical examination autopsy photographs, video and audio recordings, which contain a person’s death, exempt from public inspection]   Chief Lee would have needed a judge’s order to provide the tapes, he was not hiding them – he was following the law.

The Mayor orders them released by Lee through Bonaparte for the family, family releases them publicly.   The meeting with Triplett began at 5:00pm on Friday 3/16 if my memory of media reports after the fact serve me right (need to verify).

How did Gutman get this info so quick?   Was it Gutman or was it actually Candace Smith?   Was this cozy Victim/Media “relationship” how the 3/19/12 exclusive interview with Benjamin Crump and “DeeDee” (aka Witness #8)  connects.

Looking at Candace Smith twitter feed she says she was there with Gutman on 3/19 during the interview?

There’s more Truth hidden in this cesspool of media bias that needs to be rescued.   Additionally, how do:  Candace Smith, Howard University, The Change.Org Petition, and Kevin Cunningham come together?    Something is there.

Something is definitely THERE.   Within reach…..
