90. Al Sharpton was the leading propagandists

That isn't a red herring, that is Sharpton's track record.
As the Talk Left, hardly a right wing source, put it best.

The legacy of this case will be that the media never gets it right, and worse, that a group of lawyers, with the aid of a public relations team, who had a financial stake in the outcome of pending and anticipated civil litigation, were allowed to commandeer control of Florida's criminal justice system, in pursuit of a divisive, personal agenda.

the left knocks the media quite often too, as it should call out the corporate media when it gets things wrong. Truth has no politics, nor should it. It is what it simply is. I look at the evidence provided in court, and not as ideological sources like Talk Left.

The guy stuck a fucking shotgun in his girlfriend's face. I guess she asked for that and he was just defending himself. Oh, right, she said she didn't want to press charges, so he must be a victim. Well, it looks like he's leaving the fine State of Florida for greener pastures. Unfortunately, he will probably be armed and not required to register with local LE as a fucking sociopath.

If you listen to the 911 call, she also said he unloaded it an put it in a case. She is also yelling out of anger, not fear. He is heard in the background calmly telling her to chill out. Before this happened, she was shopping for media outlets to buy her story. Needless to say, those charges are dropped, and the DA wouldn't have a case anyway.

Thom Hartman once said that the "undecided" voters who decide at the last minute are "low information" voters. I disagree with him. I would like to think that those are the ones who are doing their own research to make an informed decision. The low information voters, really sheeple, are among the base of each party. They blindly buy whatever nonsense their favorite pundits or ideology, which is where the term "ditto head" comes from, to describe those sheeple on the right. They exist on the left as well. I have equal respect for both varieties. People don't listen to Rush (not the band) and Hartman not for information, but to confirm their own biases. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias#Persistence_of_discredited_beliefs
While both sides will claim that gun sales/gun ownership has something to do with the dropping violent crime, I think it has more to do with corporal punishment being less socially acceptable, and an aging population.
