An update would be great!

I am curious on how the Zimmerman case panned out (assuming that it has). All of the threads, pertaining to the case, have seemed to have slid into 4th page fora oblivion.

So, any updates?

Thanks!

No update on the trial but did see this about Trayvon's mother looking for money before the trial is even finished.

Trayvon Martin's mother is asking for at least $75,000 from the homeowners' association of the gated community where her teenage son was fatally shot by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, court documents show.

Sybrina Fulton also has asked for an undisclosed amount of money from a state fund set up to help crime victims with things like funeral expenses and counseling, according to state documents obtained by The Associated Press.

Are the forums really your source for news?

I think since NBC fired that producer and sound editor who doctored the 911 tapes of Zimmerman's calls, there's been very little on the LSM to attract our attention. I've been watching this for news on Trayvon and George.

Then, of course, there's this to augment another thread on the forum.

BTW: The Conservative treehouse has a very timely and useful bumper sticker this week.

Al Sharpton who got most of the msm to go out of their way to out themselves as complete and total horses ass's, still has a job at MSNBC where, it seems, that sort of thing is approved of.

Yes. If something is important, it will usually be covered here in some fashion. Balancing my responsibilities from work, family, school, and honey-do's, there isn't much time just to sit-down and watch the news on tv or read the paper...let alone...sleep.

To be frank, I am a little surprised by what you implied (by your using "really"). Unless there are dozens of MPDs for each real life person, there are quite a few people that spend time viewing, responding, and just browsing these fora.

I do not pretend that I will always get a balanced story from 'the news', or from this forum, but it is better than nothing. Sometimes, the exchanges, backnforths, and arguments are entertaining to read, all the while displaying different points of view to chuck or get stuck.

It would be nice if I had the time just to sit back watch CSPAN, but I don't. Time is a precious commidity.

Most of the time, I will follow the links to read the original articles, but sometimes I need to load up the buckshot and shoot from the hip.

MMDad, where do you read your news?

If you wouldn't mind letting me know where a more efficient place is to "get-my-news" might be, I'd like to check it out - when I have the time that is.

To everyone else who actually did post an update. Thank you.

I did a google search first, but I only saw older articles. Thanks again, everyone.
