Chicago Tribune Zorn

The position taken in this article is the author believes that Zimmerman was guilty and not convicted. Some of the facts that were used were that “Martin was taller and more athletic and heavier then Zimmerman”, and probably could have out ran or out fought him. The author assumed that Zimmerman lied about the self-defense wounds. He believes that it could have happened in a different way. He also believes that Zimmerman shot Martin just because he wanted to. He also questioned whether justice was done. There is a lot of outrage concerning this matter since it has been in the national spotlight. I would have liked to have seen more facts which supported the case, and less of his own opinions. I do believe that this author is bias. He does use a few unreasonable assertions to make his points. His opposition is in an unfair light; really all you are reading about is his opinion and not the facts about the case. He does fail to recognize his position, because all he talks about is the position that he takes on this matter. I believe the facts that he left out is important information. No evidence was shown it is all based upon his assumption. I believe for this to be an improvement of the article, he would have to tell both sides of the story and not be bias on just pointing out his thoughts. He should also print facts containing both sides of the case. This was highly publicized and controversial; a lot of people believe it was so publicized because it was a “race issue”. This story will not go away soon, people are outraged about this. Reference: Chicago Tribune
