Something I haven't heard during the Trayvon Martin coverage ...

17. That's precisely what I pointed out in my post perhaps not as explicit as how you are saying it.

The internet/televised media are quicker than our justice system. Things should be left (now that finally got the attention of the agencies due to "mass social networking" which in my book is different to the televised media) to the agencies newly assigned to take care of this investigation. So yes, that is the good of media (televised or internet) attention. Pressure needs to be placed for the process to continue but that is OUR job, not the televised-entertainment media.

It is great that the media is bringing attention to those failing to do their job (not because the media wanted to cover this in the first place but due to the amount of people in the background utilizing social networks to bring attention to this injustice which the "media" is now taking credit for accomplishing). However, my problem is the "couch lawyers and prosecutors wanna be" that want everything done instantly now that the attention is set. It should be pretty obvious that this process will take time.

But what is happening now is that TV media (which is different than the social-networking that precipitated all this) and certain groups are trying pitting groups against each other for the sake of ratings. Now we have the 'media circus' forgetting about this individual and hijacking this event to make political points. That is propaganda, not justice... at least in my opinion.

Now, justice needs to run it course now it got the attention (because of social-networking, not the "media circus&quot of the DoJ, FBI, State agencies, etc.
