...for the cables, this is O.J. 2013. They're hoping Zimmerman brings in lots of eyeballs and they're gonna create the "morality plays" to stoke that "interest". Murder is always a cable hot button...next, add another button...sex or race or both and it's ratings gold. Even if both parties in this case tried to avoid any mention of race, the cables would surely inject it...speculate upon it and then pass their own judgements. It's even more acute in this age of partisan news...those who think Zimmerman's innocent are probably watching Faux while those who see this as Martin being murdered will prefer to watch MSNBC...Chicken Noodle Nuze hopes someone will just stumble onto the channel by accident...
