Of course, it's pretty near impossible to put a sweet looking dead toddler on trial in the court of public opinion, so perhaps the character attacks on a teenager who is not here to defend himself are included the "half-assed reporting" you're referring to in the Martin case.

Oh gag me with a spoon. Please re-read my posts.
What character attacks are you talking about? Martin getting expelled or suspended from school? Given the context I think it's perfectly acceptable to bring that up. I mean, if a speeding ticket from 2006 is supposed to convince the public of Zimmerman's tendencies towards violence, then it's only natural that Martin's past comes into play as well.
And do you not think the media half assed this? I take it you're clueless about the edited 911 tapes? Hell, even Jon Stewart was ragging on the media's role in this case the other night on The Daily Show.
The last segment with the animal clips is PRICELESS!!
