Sadly, the people that care most about this trial are being played like housewives with dicks that are jacking off to "news".

The best entertainment TV shows do all this brilliantly. But news is supposed to be different. Done well, news provides context and background that often complicates rather than reinforces the main storylines. News plays more to the head, not to raw, gut emotions, which is why TV news done well has so much trouble competing in a media landscape where entertainment is always one click of the remote away.
Team Zimmerman vs. Team Trayvon. Is this really how we want the nation to follow this trial?
