Bias in the Media

I am a bit perturbed by the news media and the public in general. In the Trayvon Martin case, Trayvon is repeatedly referred to as "an innocent child," "a victim," etc.

That has by no means been established. I don't know if those terms fit or not, but neither does anyone else besides George Zimmerman. If they insist on using those terms, they should be saying "alleged innocent child," "alleged victim," etc.
