Because the narrative NBC created at the beginning of the reporting set the tone for all subsequent reporting. NBC stating that Zimmerman spontaneously uttering that he was pursuing a suspicious person who was black poisoned the dialog well. What would the narrative have been if the entire tape was played? Would we be more sympathetic to Zimmerman? No, but we would not be singularly fixated on race rather than Zimmerman’s familial relationships and SYG.

SYG equally shields all ethnic groups from prosecution.

Right, as you have so eloquently and factually illustrated with the Dooley/James case.

Race was a factor long before that NBC mess.
