Why does Fox News want a not Guilty Verdict for Zimmerman (apart form the obvious)

[brettdale]

Apart from the obvious reasons, why does Fox news wan ta not guilty verdict from the Zimmerman trial?

[Rex]

1. It is because of the obvious reason.

They are a ship owned and run by racists.

[Drunken Irishman]

2. Because of the obvious reasons.

Who needs other reasons?

1) They think it's okay for an unarmed black kid to be shot.

2) They hope it'll lead to rioting, which will further diminish the black community.

3) They're a bunch of racist assholes.

3. maybe it's their support of the nra....? nra has heavily supported 'stand your ground' laws

[patricia92243]

4. There is no other reason except the obvious one. n/t

[PoliticAverse]

5. Which do you think they can milk more, a guilty verdict or not guilty one ? n/t

[warrant46]

6. They want riots, looting and burning

So they can portray the rioters as Sub-humanoid types

[backscatter712]

14. Blood makes the ratings grow higher, higher!!! n/t

[Just Saying]

7. I think part of it is

A certain segment of gun "enthusiasts" don't want anyone questioning when they decide to shoot someone.

It's a sick, sad world.

15. exactly

thank you!

[kestrel91316]

19. Particularly if that someone isn't a lily white conservative male.

[Just Saying]

23. Without a doubt. n/t

8. The NRA fantasy that armed citizens are the answer to every problem

and the cause of none of them.


Zimmerman in jail for killing an innocent minor in cold blood exposes the fantasy for what is it.

[gollygee]

9. They serve the gun nuts

who want all the rights of gun ownership but no resonsibility for what they do with their guns.

[brettdale]

12. good points

I think we have ti right there.

10. Funny that if he is sent to jail, one of faux's shows would have been a big prosecution help

[Seeking Serenity]

11. Who says they do?

How do you know that?

13. I just minutes ago saw a segment...

I don't know anyone on Fox because I rarely stumble across it but there was someone billed as "Judge Alex" + a white female panelist + a black female host. My take on the brief moment was that "Judge Alex" tried to introduce some racial angle in favor of TM and seemed to get shut down by the other two. All Kabuki theater I'm sure but the sense I got was definitely pro-Zimmerman.
Then I leapt for the remote.

21. Judge Alex Ferrer has his own TV show (ala Judge Judy)

and if he was shut down like you mentioned I hope he doesn't ever go on Faux again-he's a sensible guy and doesn't deserve to be treated that way. He's been on Anderson Cooper many times.

[MFM008]

16. ive watched most of the day

people like Greg Jarret or whoever, 90% making it sound like IF these woman find Zimmer guilty they didnt UNDERSTAND the law.
Racist and sexist pucks.

[blm]

18. Yeah - because FOX never heard child safety instructors teach kids to FIGHT when

an adult stranger follows them and gets close enough to grab them. FOX: That's unheard of.

FOX mouthpiece: Why, I teach my children to give in when an adult stranger gets close enough to grab them because I believe that the armed adult stranger has every right to shoot the kid if he fights.

[blm]

17. Because they WANT a country where armed adult strangers can do what they want to young people

too scared to fight back or they'll be shot, too.

They're authoritarian perverts.

[arely staircase]

20. just the obvious reasons

their demographics are old conservative white people.

[customerserviceguy]

22. They're hoping for massive civil unrest

that will tilt next year's elections heavily Republicon.

I've seen how that works. The riots from 1965-68 (after the Civil Rights acts were passed, by the way) scared white America so very much that it handed the 1968 election to Nixon, and that was even with George Wallace bleeding off the most seriously racist voters, including the electoral votes of five states that would have gone to the GOP. Faux Snooze folks can certainly get that from a history book as well.

[zbdent]

24. NRA paying for massive commercial spots during the race riots that Faux would fan the flames of?
