    I'm advocating the news should tell us stories that are relevant for the readers lives. I don't see how this is relevant for 99% of the audience. This is just my perspective though. Perhaps others find more value in it.

    I don't think they should have covered it to the extent they did. However it is relevant to the American public because many states have or are considering similar stand your ground type laws and the Zimmerman case dealt with some of the controversial aspects of it. Therefor such coverage and discussion can help people to determine whether they think such laws are valid or not. I do not see such value in the Chinese baby story.

    Zimmerman never invoked the "Stand Your Ground" law. It is an irrelevant topic in regards to the Zimmerman trial.

    So just another case of the puppet media injecting an agenda into any story they see fit?

    I am aware he didn't actually invoke it but the debate started well before the trial.
