Would like a great answer, Why did Fox News push Not guilty

Look, I know Fox News is right wing crap, I must of written at least a 1000 posts on them here.

They have to play to their audience prejudices.

But why oh why, before the trial were they so so so, "HES INNOCENT"

and why now, are they so so so "The Jury was right"

I know its a simple question that probably just requires a simple answer, I would like a
deeper answer if its all possible.

I know that many of the talking heads on CNN thought the prosecution overcharged. (n/t) spin Jul 2013 #3

I figure they actually expected the verdict to be "Guilty." Pholus Jul 2013 #4

It seems to me that a lot of the media felt that a guilty verdict was unlikely.

I think it was a setup so that they could tap the dissatisfaction of how the system "failed" us.

It didn't work that way and they now seem prescient so they're going with it.
