Keeping Hate Alive at The New York Times

This report was up on the sidebar at the New York Times yesterday afternoon: "Trayvon Martin Case Shadowed by Police Missteps." I thought it strange since blockbuster information came out yesterday as well, which worked to bolster George Zimmerman's account of the incident, and hence support both his theory of the case and the police department's handling of it. This AP clip has the background:

Now see Tom Maguire's analysis, "Zimmerman Case - Keeping Hate Alive The Times":

The NY Times can't quite bring itself to report on the latest news in the Zimmerman case - Zimmerman's medical file shows he was banged up and Martin's autopsy showed bloody knuckles - so they hand the mike to the Ben Crump, the Martin family attorney, and rehash every possible mistake made by the Sanford PD.

Presumably their goal is to pretend that, however ludicrous the current situation, the media and the prosecutor acted in good faith in bringing us here.

What would really be impressive would be a mea culpa about the Times mis-reporting and errors. Some of those errors have been corrected. On the other hand, the Times also makes new ones, such as the laugher in today's story (my emphasis)...
