IMO they always were biased.... CNN was first o'seas news network I had access to in NZ... it seemed good, though CNN International filters out some US shows and replaces them with "regional" stuff... which comes across to me as UN propaganda :)
We later got BBC which is also biased...

I find Fox MUCH better... it is shown here with same shows as seen in USA... and that is what I expect... a US perspective from a US channel.

My comment about this article:

I used to be addicted to HLN/CNN. I had it on 24/7 and listened to it as background noise. I don't know if they've always been biased, or if I just found out about it in past few months, but they are so obviously biased I refuse to watch it at all any more.


Ditto!

I am too. There are a lot of family and cultural dynamics here. I believe she did all she could to stand by him and support him. Him taking off for a month and her losing contact with him and not knowing his whereabouts and him not standing by her in court was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Just ran across this:

George Zimmerman's Wife Says He Is 'Selfish'
http://uk.news.yahoo.com/george-zimmerm ... ml#ld20vtq

"I think I'm realising that I have been married to a person for almost seven years, and I don't think that I ever really knew him at all".

Ay yi yi. :doh

Either Shellie doesn't realize she's feeding the beast (the lynch mob after George), or she does realize it. I just don't know.

I want this to stop.

That was about the worst thing he could do, in my opinion. (Taking off like that, I mean.) I don't understand why he didn't feel supported by her (if that's the case). He certainly seemed to treat her like the enemy taking off like that on her.

Obviously there was a lot going on inside that marriage. And maybe it's best they part ways. I just can't imagine having to deal with a divorce on top of everything else.

I concur with Rumpole - they've always been biased. They've just come out of the closet about it, like they don't do anything to try to appear balanced anymore. They've been sliding out of that closet more and more since Bush was elected. Anyone who can't see how awful they are, and how deliberate they are in distorting things, after how they've covered GZ, et al, doesn't want to see; doesn't want (can't handle!) the truth. They just want to have their feelings validated.

Speaking of CNN, I read earlier that MOM is now a legal analyst for them.

We don't know what all happened between the two of them. As I wrote earlier, I'm not taking sides without a lot more information. One thing I'm certain about is that their marriage is another victim of TM™ et al. Again, I hope this adds millions to the damages GZ can claim in his civil suit(s).

Thanks Liesel... didn't hear that yet... it explains a Teeto tweet I saw earlier, though. She is boycotting CNN :slap
Doubly daft because as the article above demonstrates... CNN continue to be "in the Tank" for the Traybot Worrier cause... :slap

I agree, liesel. I just don't think it should be media fodder. And ABC News, no less.

I was taken aback when I heard that O'Mara was going to be an analyst for CNN, the most biased network against Zimmerman. But maybe he can set them straight (I hope so).

From CTH...... Why Do This In Public ?
http://theconservativetreehouse.com/201 ... -shooting/


'He thinks he's invincible': Zimmerman's wife speaks out about divorcing her 'selfish and reckless' husband weeks after he was cleared in Trayvon shooting

  • Shellie Zimmerman said their marriage is 'irretrievably broken'
  • Couple has been separated since August 13 - exactly one month after he was acquitted of second degree murder
  • Shellie pleaded guilty Wednesday to a misdemeanor perjury charge for lying during a bail hearing after her husband's arrest in 2012


By Lydia Warren
PUBLISHED: 12:32 GMT, 6 September 2013 | UPDATED: 20:06 GMT, 6 September 2013

George Zimmerman's wife today lambasted her husband as 'selfish' and said he believes he is invincible since being acquitted of murdering Trayvon Martin last year.

Speaking in an exclusive television interview revealing why she has filed for divorce, Shellie Zimmerman said her husband was forever changed by the fame that came with the high-profile case.

'In my opinion, he feels more invincible' since the court case, the 26-year-old said in the interview with Good Morning America on Friday. 'I think he's just making some reckless decisions.'

George Zimmerman, 29, made headlines again this week after he was caught speeding - the second time since he was acquitted of second-degree murder in July.

The couple, who have been married nearly seven years, separated August 13 - a month after he was found not guilty - and she filed for divorce on the grounds that their marriage is 'irretrievably broken'.

'I have a selfish husband,' she said. 'I think George is all about George.'

She said that he developed a temper and 'beat her down' - while she remained by his side during the lengthy trial that sent them both into hiding when George became a symbol of racial tension.

'I stood by my husband through everything and I feel like he left me with a bunch of pieces of broken glass that I'm supposed to now assemble and make a life,' she told Good Morning America.

'I have supported him for so long and neglected myself for too long and I feel like I'm finally starting to feel empowered again.'

I could go right OFF Shellie. :wall


I do not wish her harm and misery as the Traybots continue to do..... but I do wish she would just STFU (in public)

Lets not forget that "Fruit" went through a divorce... with barely a mention... he became a "Baby Daddy" with yet another woman... who he abandoned at least while acting as "head" of the fictional, made for TV.... "Martin Family" (With Sabrina and Jaharvis Fulton). NONE of this was thought to be newsworthy.

Interesting little bit of discussion at CTH (They have REAL lawyers there as opposed to Daft old dears like Teeto who pretend to be lawyers) :cool

I wouldn’t worry too much about George in the divorce. There are no children involved and it’s a relatively short term marriage in a non-community property state. Plus, although I haven’t researched it, my sense is that defamation is a personal tort and, therefore, that the proceeds of any defamation suit would be George’s personal property. I hope that’s the case so it’s up to him and not the courts whether he decides to provide Shellie with some of it. jmo

And SD, you know that’s the question I’ve had since this came out — too what legitimate purpose? I couldn’t think of one then, and still can’t. And it appears that the possibly innocent explanation (that she was naive and set up by the interviewer/author) is now off the table. I gather that you agree?

So glad to see you. Yes, exactly that. I thought at first she was being snookered/set-up. But now it looks almost purposeful….. odd.

why? I just don’t see a value in this – AT ALL, for either of them.

Glad to be here, as always :) I see potential value to Shellie, but not any legitimate value. Two possibilities are money and distancing/victim status, thereby gaining approval from the still large anti-George contingent. In my view, neither of objectives are worthy in the small or large picture. Know what I mean?

Re-reading what I wrote, I need to correct it. Not “gaining approval,” but being the subject of potentially less active loathing. Sorry.

My response at CTH.....

Thanks that is sort of reassuring.
It makes sense to me that a marriage split after short duration with no child support involved should be simple, quick and equitable… and not penalize one party (the guy).
As I have stated before… I think George’s credit is EXCELLENT despite his current “cash flow” problems. There will some sort of reimbursement of costs from State.. maybe sanctions on prosecution as well? And it seems to me that ABC are “banged to rights” and will have to pay a (large) sum for defamation. Beyond that… perhaps other defamation suits?
It should be George’s choice as far as sharing any of that goes. Maybe Shellie should consider that before embarking on a “battered wife tour”

Unless SZ has an idiot for a lawyer, or she wants out so badly she willingly gives it up, she is entitled to part of the settlement from the civil suit already filed. Period. The proceeds of the lawsuit filed during the marriage are a marital asset under FL law. Other than that, I agree with the above.

SZ was also damaged by the tort(s) inflicted on GZ. She had to drop out of school, go into hiding, continues to be threatened, etc. etc. etc. Beyond being the law, it's only fair that she receive part of the distribution that accumulated during the marriage. GZ already gave her $4300 out of his defense/living expenses fund, so apparently he knows she's entitled, and/or knows it's the right thing to do.

We've all done dumb things when a relationship ended. I can't recall ever going around bad-mouthing an old beau, or airing dirty laundry publicly. But I probably did, at least to some degree, kwim? A far cry from ABC, if at all, yes. OTOH, no one offered me money to dish, I wasn't $90k in debt with no income, and so far, my husband hasn't packed up and left me with no word for a month, after I stood by him during his darkest days.

I would strongly advise SZ to stop this nonsense. Her lawyer should get her under control, if for no other reason than she's hurting herself along with GZ. There is no way she's walking into a mediation or an equitable distribution hearing with clean hands now.

Both have been through hell and continue to suffer. What they've endured is bound to change people. No doubt getting through that show trial was a big relief and I can see someone, especially someone young, kind of going off of the deep end with that weight off.

So far we've only heard one side. One very hurt, angry, young side. I'll pray for both of them, and their families.

Rumpole, you've mentioned GZ's credit rating a couple of times. Is that deductive reasoning because they were able to pay off some debts early on, or did I miss something?

What I Learned from the Zimmerman Trial

I learned many things attending the trial of George Zimmerman in Sanford, Florida, and watching it online, but one important thing I learned was fully unexpected, and it was this: the Republicans may never win a national election again.

This observation has nothing to do with the February 2012 shooting of Trayvon Martin, nothing to do with race, nothing to do with policy, and everything to do with the way people, especially women and young people, increasingly get their information.

To my mind, this is silly. It's like she's trying to claim the dogs as children. Life insurance is often awarded to secure support. I doubt the court will order dog-support, or alimony in such a short term marriage. She makes herself look bad with demands like this, imo.

Zimmerman’s wife seeks life insurance policy

SANFORD -- George Zimmerman’s wife is asking that he pay for a permanent life insurance policy with her named as the beneficiary, according to a divorce petition made public Friday.

Shellie Zimmerman said in the petition that her husband should pay the premiums on the policy since he “has the financial ability to obtain such life insurance at reasonable rates.” She also asked for custody of the couple’s 2-year-old Rottweiler, Oso, and 8-year-old Leroy, a mixed-breed dog. They have no children.
