In the discussion thread: the tradition of blaming the victim [View all]

Thu Apr 26, 2012, 01:20 PM

52. i don't excuse the media

especially not faux. the media is most certainly a BIG part of the problem. they parrot whatever zimmerman says without any analysis. and the media is definitely in the business of blaming the victim. zimmerman was projecting his paranoid worldview onto Martin, and no doubt saw himself as hero/avenger. unfortunately, some people see him that way also.
