In reply to the discussion: Family rescued by Zimmerman cancels press conference [View all]Jenoch
(7,720 posts)36. If they give the media nothing,
the media will follow them and hound them. If they give the media a simple story about how they had an accident and two men stopped to help, and those two men happened to be Zimmerman and his body guard and how after the LEO showed up, Zimmerman and friend left and that's all the contact they had with them, then the press will report that and most of them will then leave the family alone. Then there is nothing more to the story. If they give nothing to the media about the accident and Zimmerman, some of the media will keep after them until another story comes up to get the attention of the media. It might not be pretty, but that's how it works.
