It must just drive you crazy, since as long as a person has a drop of black blood in them they are black, that makes Zimmerman black, so it's technically black on black crime, right?

You're not familiar with this case, are you?

Fox is No. 1 for a reason. Martin did not have "Tea" either. It was Arizona Watermellon Fruit Juice Coctail, which when mixed with Skittles and cough medicine (along with some other drugs) makes a powerful hallucinogenic that Martin was fond of.

Fox is more trusted than the Legacy Media, whcih, apparently is your only source. They all rely on the AP, which is why they all parrot one another.

Who to choose, such tough decisions they are faced with
Most of the Left is just plain full of crap. This OP proves it.

The interview clearly stated that tea and skittles could be used for murder, but your accusation is even more wild than that.

I'm sure you have solid proof of your over the top accusation, correct? I'd hate to think you are pulling a fox by spreading outright lies,..

Ummmm......I checked out the link and "Fox" did no such thing. They have guests on from both sides and in between and the guests say what they want to. Some are real nut jobs and they come from both sides. Fox never reported what you said. I'm not sure why you are trying to say they did.

Now I have watched all the news channels and here is a reality check for you. All the channels have limited "hard news" segments where it is straight up news. Fox actually has an excellent hard news segment. However, most everything else they have, as well as the other channels are what they call "opinion" programming, meaning it is not news being reported......simply discussion and opinion. Have you ever watched MSNBC? Holy cow are they off the deep end. At least Fox puts on a roughly even amount of people from both sides as guests to battle it out.

News in general today is pathetic and not at all interested in doing the work to dig into what needs to be dug into. They have good days, but it is not what it should be. That said, no sense in trying to make up lies about what one station did not "report". A guest saying something, even a dumb joke like this joker said, is not a news channel reporting something.

With the Trayvon Martin murder trial coverage ramping up, fox news is defending Zimmerman claiming that iced tea and skittles could have been used to kill.

You just can't make this stuff up,...

Hell, why bother going to court, you already have him convicted. Get out the drums, get the fire going, face paint, earring through your lips, dance jump up and down.

Wouldn't it have made more sense if he had actually bought the active ingredient?
