What is happening to Trayvon Martin is no less than a posthumous lynching

3. I'd say it's more about media culture than anyting else

It's a 24 hour cycle and this is a hot story. There's a always a hunger for more, more, more. When you learn as much relevant stuff as possible, interests passes to the irrelevant. This happens all the time with big stories. From the media POV, they have be kept alive with new information.

A lot of stuff has come out about Zimmerman too and not all of it relevant. Some of it is, but I don't think the ethnic background of his parents, where he works, or where he went to school really matters much. But it's out there anyway because people want to know.

So it's inevitable that such info will come out about Trayvon too. That's how this media machine works, for better or worse.
