Quite a kerfuffle amid the media scoopers today. Who really knows the origin of the back story, which has led to this recent news cycle based on the continued liberal goal of isolation, but one thing is certain. The media are quite happy to broadcast the division.
Shellie Zimmerman gave an interview with ABC News…..
….. or did she?
Actually Shellie Zimmerman sat down for an interview with a *Freelance* book writer named Christi O’Conner. Christi O’Conner is obviously less then agenda free with her previous positioning of the Trayvon Martin shooting:
[…] “I close by circling back to George Zimmerman. Sanford’s black community believes Fuller’s tazing is more proof of a racist police department to which the ‘Wannabe Police Officer, Zimmerman’ has close ties. And that this “culture of racism” influenced Zimmerman’s decision to shoot Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman, of course, denies this and a jury seemed to agree. But, I’ve spoken with several credible people who provide interesting insight and who offer proof that Zimmerman and his family are racist. I’ve also discovered a lot more about the Zimmerman/Trayvon tragedy. But I can’t share it yet. I will when the time is right. So, stay tuned.” (read more)
So, how’s an agenda driven news outlet like the Stephopolous ABC crew going to, yet again, co-opt a narrative like they did with former Zimmerman attorney B-29? Why by using a third party, that’s how…… Enter, Christi O’Conner.
Perhaps a paid-for-interview by a book author, becomes an unknown ABC interview, as the video of the book interview is given to the freelance underwriter for the book itself?
A person only needs to check out how the interview was edited, what snippets were used for headlines, and what other media interests are served by the captured content itself.
A quick review of U-Tube slice and dice Headlines frames all the narratives. Check them out.
CNN: Shellie Zimmerman’s says her marriage is strained.
Divorce is imminent….
Marriage in Trouble …..
George should not have gone to the gun factory…
Shellie apologizes to Martin Family for her husband’s murderous rampage…..
And somewhere amid all of this will come the catch phrase “he should never have gotten out of the car”.
All of this for what intent exactly? The same media-intent that has existed since February 27th 2012. After all, according to them, they got it all correct and everyone else is profoundly wrong. Just wait a few more weeks and they’ll provide yet another series of interviews to prove just that.
…. And so it goes.
