My concern is that the mainstream media regularly misrepresents situations, some times surreptitiously, sometimes blatantly. Unfortunately this particular matter was injected with racial overtones and implications from a deliberate falsehood aired by NBC. By removing the 911 dispatcher's question about Martin's apparent race, if known, NBC made it appear Zimmerman volunteered Martin's race whereas he was asked it. In any case, wouldn't the police want as good a description as possible in order to find Martin who had by then disappeared from Zimmerman's sight? If Martin had appeared to have been white would it not have been helpful to the police to know that?
