Is It Time to Give Up on CNN? My Take on Coverage of the George Zimmerman Trial

I wrote this essay as a tumblr post, merely as a personal rant. Gawker editor John Cook spotted it there and asked if he could use it on the site. I dislike criticizing my former employer; I have great respect for many people who work there. But I thought the point was worth making, and I’m pleased it got some attention. The next day, NPR’s David Folkenflik gave me an opportunity to express my opinion on the trial’s  coverage in a piece he did for All Things Considered.
