maybe was Ron Paul, CNN and Fox news pretended he didn't exist, created the illusion he sucked, and not enough voted for him.
the bad guys are just so annoying...

You should be proud that we live in a country where people march for something, regardless of their beliefs in that something and stop crying about the fact that they aren't marching for something you want them to.

Because the media, the police all are run by the goverment. I just read an article talking about how Americas prisons are big money. Even with a black president the stereo type is still that latinos and blacks are criminals and bad guys.

Being a sheep how so? I am not saying a million person hoodie march wasn't helped via the media, but the damn thing started in FL only. Looking at the evidence available i see a corrupt police force and a dead 17 year old.
Marching against corruption and demanding equality is one of the most purist things America has to offer, who cares if the Media flamed it, they sure as hell didn't start it.
There are marches all over our country, of course the marches will be bigger if the media covers it. They aren't choosing our battles. They can't make something out of nothing.
An example, remember when Fox News was editing rallys to make it look like there were more people at events than there really were?
The Media cant force us to march for things, but they can bring our attention to it.

Thats my point the rallys about travon martin are springing up all around the country. Hell , even our president has said something about it.
and yes if the media did ask us to march for things we would. The people of this country are not leaders, they follow. They listin to what others tell them to do. They don't research , why do you think theres ads on tv tellling us what we need to buy, how we need to live. TV is raising America , big companies run us, because of the money in it. I know what Coca Cola is , yet i see at least 20 to 30 commercials on tv telling me i need one. Why? I already know how good it is, instead of spending all that money making the commercial and putting it on tv. Help us get out of debt, or make more jobs with that money.
We are sheep, no other way to look at it.

I think what is different in the Martin case is that the kid was walking home, was followed and shot and the police didn't even arrest the guy or book him under suspicion. They just ignored it all and pretended that it would go away and it got worse.
The cops and the police force did ssooo many things wrong in this case. This one just happened to catch the attention of Americans not just the media. It takes more than a story to make people care.

We are sheep, no other way to look at it.
We live in a capitalist society where companies can brainwash us into liking Coke or force feed us news 24/7 until we actually like something, but it is our choice to turn on the news or watch TV.
The Treyvon thingy was already blown up when Obama talked about it and the Media wouldn't talk about it if it didn't equal ratings. In other words, a lot of people in our country care about this case.
If I see one more of my friends talk about it on facebook I will be sick, and they aren't "The Media"

but when this first started , CNN were using pictures when travon was 13 not 17. Thats when people started jumping on this "band wagon" , they saw an innocent 13 year old, now you see travon started to become a stereotypical black male. Throwing up gang signs in pics and becoming a "thug". Since the media jumped on him being innocent they have to stick with their story. I dont agree with shooting and unarmed anybody, but we don't know the whole story, and depending what side the media is on, is usually the side the people will be on.
Remember the Casey anthony case!

Well with the Marin case the media jumped the gun, where i was going by the facts. Now it's easy to see the guy should have been arrested and charged with manslaughter in the least. He wasn't even booked which is crazy.
And you say Remember the Anthony case. Most of the Media talked about her as if she was guilty for months. The jury found her innocent (mainly cause they were dumb as hell)
If those dumb as hell people weren't brainwashed by the media, then I don't know who is.
