Orlando Stations Dig For Fresh Angles on Zimmerman Case
The central Florida stations are hustling to find a fresh angle on the George Zimmerman case, with Zimmerman showing up in court today following the death of Trayvon Martin on February 26.
“We have to somehow think that, ‘Well, at least there’s something good in all of that,’” Robert said. “He can’t be attacked this way, he most likely can’t be hurt, killed, injured.”
WKMG also has footage from last night of Zimmerman, with a coat over his head, arriving at the jail. You have to look past the large “Local 6″ logo in the middle of the screen to see the action.
WFTV has vid from the same angle. Speaking of logos, the clip on WFTV.com has both WOFL and AP branding on it.
WOFL has a sheriff shedding a little light on what the next few days at the jail hold for Zimmerman.
Bright House Networks’ News 13 is all over the story too. Somewhat surprisingly, at least to me, a poll on the website shows that 57% of users do not agree with the decision to charge Zimmerman with second degree murder.
Zimmerman’s formal arraignment is set for May 29. If he ends up going to trial, it will rival the Casey Anthony proceedings in terms of media, and viewer, attention, coming out of central Florida.

My post is about NBC's inexcusable tiamerpng with a tape to deceive the public.I make no judgments whatsoever about Zimmerman or Martin. Abortion and racial bigotry?I am anti-abortion and anti-racial bigotry.Are you aware of how abortion impacts the African American community?:The statistics on African American abortions are shocking. Even though African Americans are only about 13 percent of the U.S. population, one of every three abortions in the United States is performed on a black woman. Three of every five African American women will abort a child. Some 1,452 African American babies are killed each day in abortions.
