Trayvon Martin And The Times - 'Flooding The Zone' Or Walking Away?

The Times presented an exhaustive review of the Trayvon Martin killing on Monday and has ignored notable developments since.  Walk back or walk away, and why?

Last Monday the NY Times front-paged a deeply detailed look at the Trayvon Martin killing and ran not one but two columns on the topic.  As a hint that they were going to expose their readership to a bit of a narrative shift, they even mentioned for the first time the mob menace created by Spike Lee's re-tweeting of an erroneous address for George Zimmerman.  Long time readers (OK, yours truly) imagined that the Times was preparing to 'flood the zone', in the classic phrase of long-departed editor Howell Raines.

But maybe their big walkback was also their walk away, the way the crescendo concludes a fireworks display.  Since then the Dead Tree Times has been blank on developments in the Trayvon Martin case; the website has picked up a few Reuters stories.

Might this be for lack of news?  Hardly.  Reuters reports the NBC walk-back of their smear of George Zimmerman, credits some evil right-wing media, and even notes that ESPN fired Jeremy Lin for less.  Bold stuff!

Mallory Simon of the CNN wire service has picked up the Orlando Sentinel voice experts story and even brought some legal analysis and technical pushback.  There was an opportunity for real journalism!

Down in Florida Al Sharpton Ben Crump is alleging and others are denying.  Surely the Times knows this script.

And ABC News has walked back their 'no injuries' video.  Their April 2 headline: "George Zimmerman - Enhanced Video Shows Injury". 

For the Times to fail to report on the ABC development is especially problematic since they noted the original ABC story in their big wrap-up:

In a grainy police video that shows a handcuffed Mr. Zimmerman being led out of a police car and through the police station, he does not appear to be badly injured; nor is there noticeable blood on his clothing. To many who have been following the case, the video presents a crucial rebuttal of Mr. Zimmerman’s account.

And to anyone naive enough to rely on the Times for their news, it still presents a crucial rebuttal of Mr. Zimmerman's account.

Is the Times flooding the zone?  It now appears that instead of walkbacks they are walking away.  In that case, the Paper of Record is still on the hook for a couple of items:

First, Times reporter Lizette Alvarez reported on March 16 and again on March 20 that Mr. Zimmerman "placed 46 calls to 911 in 14 months"; even NPR eventually noted that those 46 phone calls ran from January 2004 to the present, so "46 calls to 911 in eight years" is the phrase they seek.  Yet no correction is appended to either story, nor was the error addressed in their big walkback/walk away piece.  Is it relevant to the story?  The Times thought so when they reported it, and some might find that it reveals a bit about Mr. Zimmerman's paranoia, or lack thereof.

And on a weightier matter, the Times broke some news relating to the plausibility of Mr. Zimmerman's self-defense claim.  Let's cut to Times columnist Charles Blow for perspective, from his March 25 column:

To believe Zimmerman’s [self-defense] scenario, you have to believe that Trayvon, an unarmed boy, a boy so thin that people called him Slimm, a boy whose mother said that he had not had a fight since he was a preschooler, chose that night and that man to attack. You have to believe that Trayvon chose to attack a man who outweighed him by 100 pounds...

Apparently Mr. Zimmerman's weight of 250 pounds was picked up from a 2005 police report. Yet in their walkback/walk away article the Times quietly buried this:

However it started, witnesses described to the 911 dispatcher what resulted: the neighborhood watch coordinator, 5-foot-9 and 170 pounds, and the visitor, 6-foot-1 and 150, wrestling on the ground.

That sounds more like the slimmed down man we all saw in the ABC video, and jibes with the weight offered by Zimmerman's friend on March 27.

I understand that in the Times organization chart the opinion columnists are not bound by the rulings of the news editors, or even by reality.  Still, before the Times walks away they ought to correct the record they have created.

IF YOU ARE KEEPING SCORE AT HOME:  The Ties waded into the Trayvon Martin story with the March 16 piece by Ms. Alvarez.  In it Ms. Alzvarez defied the witnesses and credulously backed the Martin family attorneys in reporting two gunshots; the Times has since walked back to one, without noting a correction in the original story (pretty normal for them).

Ms. Alvarez quoted the father as saying Trayvon was outweighed by one hundred pounds; I assume the quote was accurate and the facts were subsequently updated, so no correction.

And we are still holding our breath on the 46 phone calls. No we're not.

I KNOW THEY'RE KIDDING:  When I load the ABC News video about Zimmerman's newly enhanced head injuries, the lead-in ad is for a headache remedy.  Who among us doesn't love targeted ads?

BUCKING THE POLLS:  Per Pew, Democrats are following the Trayvon Martin case and don't want coverage cut back.

Comments

[jwest]

Tom,

Did you notice that Ed Primeau doubled down in the comments section of his blog by stating that Zimmerman did say “coons”?

I left another comment hoping to get him to lay out his reasoning. Here it is:

1. Once again, I have to admire you for the courage of your convictions.

Despite the overwhelming evidence that it was George Zimmerman screaming and the possibility that Zimmerman may consent to duplicating the screams for further analysis, both you and Mr. Owen have stated definitely that it was not Zimmerman yelling for help. There was no equivocating or discussion of “most probably” or “a good chance” that the voice wasn’t Zimmerman’s, but absolute certainty on both your and Mr. Owen’s part.

This is what I can’t understand. By not hedging your assessment to provide for the strong possibility that it was Zimmerman’s voice calling for help, haven’t you effectively ended your career as an audio forensic expert if and when the findings confirm it was Zimmerman? It seems that in every subsequent case, opposing council will point to your absolute statements to discredit any testimony you give.

As you said, there is no money involved here, so why would you go out on a limb like this?

[Ignatz]

[fdcol63]

" .. Google couldn't hit a bull in the ass with a handfull of wheat. ..."

I think the problem is more like Google's Left-wing programmers are constantly busy editing their code to filter all search queries that reflect poorly on Lefty memes and issues.

[centralcal]

O/T - just a quick update to something we talked about weeks ago:

A state-agency probe dismissed suspected child- abuse claims against a son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., The Post has learned.

Douglas Kennedy was cleared of wrongdoing in a complaint stemming from a Jan. 7 altercation with two nurses at Northern Westchester Hospital. The fracas centered on whether he was authorized to take his newborn son from the maternity ward.

[jwest]

Another thing I don’t understand is why the deceptive editing of the Zimmerman 911 call by NBC is getting all the attention.

I thought the deceptive editing of the video tape of Zimmerman’s arrival at the police station was just as egregious, with MSNBC (and I’m sure NBC too) cutting out the few seconds where a police officer looks at the back of Zimmerman’s head.

[Jim,MtnViewCA,USA]

Our high schooler saw Inconvenient Truth in school again this year. Last year in a video class, this year in Lit.
Sigh.

[fdcol63]

Bogus liberal memes die very slowly, if at all.

[narciso]

Well jwest, the tape, set the template for Zimmerman, as racist, along with the abridged
timeline for paranoia, the video tape was just the cherry on top.

[Danube of Thought]

We are off shortly for Budapest, where on Friday we will embark on the Viking Odin for a cruise up the--get this--Danube. Never been there.

[centralcal]

Bon Voyage, Danube! Send pictures, please (Danube on the Blue Danube)

[fdcol63]

DoT,

Have a great trip! I envy you .... I've always wanted to do a river cruise from Amsterdam all the way to the Black Sea.

[Captain Hate]

Have a great time, DoT.

A state-agency probe dismissed suspected child- abuse claims against a son of Robert F. Kennedy Jr

I guess that's an ok verdict because I doubt that the child was hurt so it's more or less a victimless crime; assuming no actions will be taken against the nurses who followed the rules to the letter. He's still another Kennedy cur who doesn't think the rules apply to him.

[cboldt]

Budapesht, home to Zha Zha and Eva Gabor, and Tom Lantos. Happy Trails!

[NK]

Tactical retreat by the NYT? if yes a rare smart move by pinch's crew.

Google ads? I have the same experience as cboldt and Ig, I get all of that Sherrod Brown and Michelle crap. I too think it's left wing Google programmers screwing with conservatives.

[Appalled]

Budapest is a unique place with great food and has been a genuine hot water springs spa town since, well, forever.

[Captain Hate]

I agree, fdcol63; I'd take my Gibbon along and be feverishly leafing through to find where things occurred.

Having taken a "Voyage of the Vikings" cruise around the British Isles starting in Dublin and ending across the North Sea in Norway at Sognefjord, I'd be surprised if I didn't receive a flyer on this one. How funny would it be to meet a JOMer on one of these by the luck of the draw?

[Extraneus]

I doubt that the child was hurt so it's more or less a victimless crime

What about the nurse he kicked and sent flying ten feet or so? (I still say he'd have likely squeezed the kid to launch her that far.) Hope she gets a payday, anyway.

[Captain Hate]

Ext I'd forgotten about that. I assume if she was hurt she has grounds for a civil suit if she wishes to pursue that. Otherwise it's just the boorish behavior that gets excused when done by a Kennedy.

[Janet]

Thanks for the update, centralcal.

Our high schooler saw Inconvenient Truth in school again this year. Last year in a video class, this year in Lit.
Sigh.

Same here, Jim. I bet mine saw it 3 or 4 times each. It was a regular "filler" movie when there was some odd down time.

[Frau Donaureise]

Gute Reise, DoT. Give my regards to the die schöne Donau.

Another melodic tribute to your namesake.LUN

[Janet]

from cc's link -
"Westchester authorities arrested and charged Kennedy with a misdemeanor count of child endangerment as well as two lesser charges of harassment. A hearing on the case is due next Wednesday.

But a separate, independent investigation by the state Office of Children and Family Services has already concluded that Kennedy is not a child abuser."

So more to come...

[Jane]

How very cool Dot! Have a great time. The NRO river cruises are all on Viking ships - often with free booze.

[Frau Donaureise]

Jim, showing the Goracle's lies to students of any age violates the separation of state and religion.

Doing so repeatedly is cruel and unusual punishment. I'm surprised some students haven't made a spoof of the film.

[matt]

Bon voyage, DoT. May your thoughts flow like the mighty Danube, or something.

They really enjoyed it.

Hey, did you know that under Ryan's budget plan, 100s of national parks will close? I know this because Obama, the smartest president evah!! said it. Nevermind there are only 58 national parks to begin with.

[rse]

fd-that's why the good stuff is always on about page 3.

Some of what I work on shouldn't be out there but the search is based on what I know binds and it is pulling up links that are out there to allow bureaucrats in various countries to look at the same material. One incredibly detailed document from about 10 days ago made no sense from my search unless the participants in that Planet under pressure conference had been given link.

How's this for fun. Been invited to an official sustainability seminar by the a21 authority itself. That will be a big ears afternoon as I learn how they decide what to push for.

[centralcal]

lol, Sue.

[sbw]

DoT, do tip a few in the cavern taverns, and sup some soup -- known for their bouillabaisse.

[NK]

sue@12:38-- there are 57 states, how can there only be 54 national parks?

[Porchlight]

Enjoy, DoT. Those rinky-dink European rivers are very pretty. I wonder what the explorers thought when they got to the New World and saw our bigass rivers; even the Hudson is simply giant compared to the waterways of Europe.

[Sue]

He will probably claim he was talking about National Park Service Areas. Come on guys, give him a break. This job his hard. Being sarcastic with little or no facts at hand is hard to do.

[Melinda Romanoff]

Have fun DoT!

This kills me...after Coke pushed the World Wildlife Fund green crap in their holiday marketing. Idiots.

[daddy]

Isn't it about time for Colin Powell to weigh in on the Trayvon Martin case? How have we survived so long without hearing from the unofficial senior spokesman for the Republican Party on this matter?

I want my Colin. I'll even settle for a semi-Colin.

[Extraneus]

Who has the list of companies we should boycott?

[DublinDave]

Great he had a gash on the back of his head-let him go.

One question that needs to be answered;when Georgie goes free does he intend to continue following black boys at night time while carrying a loaded weapon?

If not,why not?What would have changed for Georgie?I mean if he believes in the "Stand your ground law",the 2nd amendment and integrity of devoting free time to protecting the community,it only stands to reason that he'll continue following black people he finds suspicous.

Right?

[DublinDave]

What am I saying "when Georgie goes free"... Georgies already free.

So is he out there, night after night with his loaded gun,following boys,hoping he doesn't have kill them after they realize he's been following them,freak out and defend themselves.

Mmmmmm.

[Danube of Thought]

"does he intend to continue following black boys at night time while carrying a loaded weapon?"

I assume he'll follow strangers prowling the neighborhood at night regardless of race, color, creed or national origin.

(The lynch mob is becoming dispirited already.)

Thanks for the good wishes, all. We have a Friday night reservation at Gundel. Kicking back with a Bloody in the Red Carpet Room at the moment.

[Ignatz]

Is it merely coincidence that clarice and DoT disappear in the same week?

[Ignatz]

Anyone else notice how Trayvon has made it quite acceptable for Democrats to call black young men "boys" once again?
If Denny's had told Trayvon they didn't hire "boys" two months ago, wee DublinDave would be here telling us he was in solidarity with Trayvon's righteous discrimination lawsuit.

[Extraneus]

I think Zimmerman will take some of his settlement with NBC and move to a nicer place. He'll probably be reluctant to volunteer his time to help others.

[Danube of Thought]

Cue the Obama campaign rhetoric:

         "The Department of Defense announced today that the convening authority, Office of Military Commissions, referred charges to a military commission in the case of 'United States v. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin 'Attash, Ramzi Binalshibh, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi.'

            "The charges allege that the five accused are responsible for the planning and execution of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, in New York, Washington D.C., and Shanksville, Pa., resulting in the killing of 2,976 people.

            "The convening authority referred the case to a capital military commission, meaning that, if convicted, the five accused could be sentenced to death.  Pursuant to the reforms in the Military Commissions Act of 2009, each of the five accused have been provided, in addition to their detailed defense counsel, learned counsel, possessing specialized knowledge and experience in death penalty cases, to assist them in their defense."

[Annoying Old Guy]

Maybe Dublin Dave would like Zimmerman better if he looked good on a T-shirt like another Irish hero.

[DublinDave]

"I assume he'll follow strangers prowling the neighborhood at night........"

Great.Except Trayvon Martin wasn't a stranger prowling the neighbourhood,he was a kid staying with his father.

So, when you say that Georgie will continue to carry a loaded weapon on his "Nightwatch",you mean that he'll follow people he deems to be "strangers proonly wling"?Even if they've lived there for years,if Georgie decides that they look suspicous,he'll follow them in the dark.

So really, if george moves into your neighbourhood, you should go and introduce yourself and your children(especially if they're black) to him to avoid having the crap scared out all concerned.Right?.

What about friends and relatives coming to visit on foot?

[Melinda Romanoff]

Didn't think of that, Ig. I'll go try it outside.

Back in a second.

[DublinDave]

Sorry...."strangers prowling"

[iqvoice]

"Georgie?"

Before, he was the man who weighed 270 LBs; now you refer to him with a diminutive.

Before, he was the big scary adult, now he is little "Georgie."

What are you trying to demonstrate, DublinDave, besides your own depravity?

[bgates]

Anyone else notice how Trayvon has made it quite acceptable for Democrats to call black young men "boys" once again?

It's always been acceptable for Democrats to do that.

Have you noticed that walking behind someone in the dark is now considered sufficient provocation for assault?

[bgates]

if George moves into your neighbourhood, you should go and introduce yourself and your children(especially if they're black) to him

That's the kind of nightmarish society Republicans want to inflict on us: a world where people introduce themselves to new neighbors.

[DublinDave]

(The lynch mob is becoming dispirited already.)

Actually, the political capital progressives will garner from this, regardless of the outcome, will be priceless priceless.

1.We have a President and a party that have re-solidified their relationship with the African-American community after a turbulent couple of years.

2.The "Stand your ground" law is on it's way to being repealed in Florida..........what?I felt my life was threatened by that law.I had to act.

3.African-American anger is being re-fueled with all sorts of civil rights goodies coming down the line-good luck with repealing Afirmative action now,righties.

4.Tighter gun control laws(psssst.when we say "control" we really mean don't mean "control"....one step at a time).

Whatever the outcome, Democrats just got themselves a bunch of legislative rewards.

[iqvoice]

"African-American anger is being re-fueled with all sorts of civil rights goodies coming down the line-good luck with repealing Afirmative action now,righties."

So you admit that Afirmative (sic) Action is nothing but a reverse discrimination program designed to buy black votes?

Enlightening!

[iqvoice]

I hope DublinDave is a plant, because it pains me to believe that his views are mainstream in the democrat party.

He rejoices that the end result, regardless of the justice of the outcome, will result in the presumed advancement of his pet causes.

He disgusts me.

If you look at the commentary by those of us on the right you see, above all, a pursuit of the truth: the truth about Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman, and the events of that tragic night.

You look at the commentary of DublinDave, and you see a vulture preying on the dead.

[caro]

Have a great time,DoT. As Jane says,Viking cruises are wonderful. As you do the stretch from Vienna to Munich, think of me riding a bike along the banks going the opposite direction. Last May,it was.

DublinDave's candor is appreciated. In one short comment, DublinDave ADMITS that: 1. the TMartin 'outrage' has nothing to do with the facts or 'justice' or government accountability, it's all BS to fire up Black voting, and 2. The 'outrage' uses TM-GZ tragedy for the political purposes of passing anti-gun and anti-self defense laws; and 3. They will try to use the case to keep racial 'affirmative action laws' alive. Thanks DublinDave you've just confirmed that Dems/Progs are heartless bastards who trample the rights of individuals to achieve their socialized political goals. Thanks, it 's always good to learn that conservatives were correct all along.

DoubleDumbDave has been taught that it is morally superior to support immorality.
I'm sorry to be blunt folks, but SKITTLES MARTIN got himself killed. Liberal douchebags drooled like Pavlov's dog at the chance to claim some moral superiority in the "UNJUST" murder of an Angelic Black boy with nothing but Skittles on his mind.
They drooled and knee jerked into the default LIBTARD position. OOOOOOOOPS.
Too stupid, too immoral and too unethical to realize their mistake, LIBTARDS just make up new lies to cover the old ones.
DoubleDumbDave is just a useful idiot for the LEFTS RACIAL GRIEVANCE MONGERS and POVERTY PIMPS. Public schools don't help in this regard. The default position is WHITE BAD, BLACKY GOOD. And dumb f@@Ks like Dave are used by these sick leftist freaks. Examples of the MORALLY ETHICALLY and HONESTY bankrupt LIBTARD LEFT abound. Washerwoman Schultz, Pelosi, Boxer, Rangel, Obama, Rodham, Sebelius. I could go on for hours.

[Danube of Thought]

Political rewards placed on hold:

"President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign website has removed several videos that pitched alarmist messages to African-American voters, following reporting by The Daily Caller and the Fox News Channel. In one video that the campaign yanked from the 'African-Americans for Obama' section of its website Tuesday, actress Tatyana Ali seemed to predict that a second Obama term would bring a host of benefits to African-Americans once the president no longer had to concern himself with campaigning."

[Jane]

This week's diversion seem a bad bet. Obama pretty much doubled down on his harassment of the court and I think Holder actually agreed to send the memo to the 5th circuit.

So, what did you pay for gas today? I understand Canada said we have to pay full price because we won't do Keystone and Mexico is really really angry about Fast and Furious.

Perky Katie may not have done any grind dances which might serve as a fiber substitute, but it seems as if the show wasn't without fireworks:

Couric, meantime, got to oversee — and should have stepped into, but didn’t — a real slug match between legal correspondent Dan Abrams and an unhinged Nancy Grace, who looked like a crazed leprechaun in a terrifying green outfit. They were supposed to discuss the case of a professional cheerleader’s alleged affair with an underage boy.

But, instead, all hell broke loose and Couric looked shaken after Grace went off the rails, screeching like an escaped mental patient, “You’re just all hung up because she’s a hot Bengals cheerleader — so, get past it, Dan Abrams!”

"If you look at the commentary by those of us on the right you see, above all, a pursuit of the truth:"

If my candour is offensive I apoligize.i'm completely invested in seeing Trayvon Martin receive justice,I believe he was the victim of a hate crime.If you were honest you'd admit that your interests ly in seeing Zimmerman freed.Nothing wrong with that,I just disagree with you.

"You look at the commentary of DublinDave, and you see a vulture preying on the dead"

We live in a Political world and there are outcomes and consequences for every injustice that carry Political weight.That weight can be used to push for legislation addresses that and a whole host of other injustices.It's the way out society works,cause and effect.

All the legislative changes I mentioned above will save lives,grant education to thousand's of kids who otherwise couldn't afford it and correct a whole host of social imbalances.My delivery was snarky,I will admit that.
