Media Bias: Trayvon Martin Glorified, Baby Antonio Santiago Ignored

Unless you live under a rock, you’re aware of the Not Guilty verdict reached in the second degree murder trial of George Zimmerman. So I won’t bore you with the details. Nor will I jump on the bandwagon of exploiting a dead American like the mainstream media, and the Obama Administration, have been engaging in ever since the fateful night when Trayvon Martin died. I will, however, call out their hypocrisy in cherry picking what killings to report, and which to ignore, or as many of us would argue, actively suppress.

I suspect you’ve never heard the name Antonio Santiago. Which would not be surprising since the mainstream media barely mentioned his name. In case you don’t know, Antonio was a 13-month-old baby who lived in Brunswick, Georgia. That is, until two teenaged boys became his judge, jury, and executioner.

Thirteen-Month-Old Antonio Santiago, Shot and Killed During a Failed Robbery

After attempting to rob the infant’s mother, Sherry West, who had nothing to offer them, the two boys allegedly shot little Antonio, in the face, while he sat in his stroller, to the horror of his mother whom they also shot and wounded. Seventeen-year-old De’Marquis Elkins was charged as an adult with first-degree murder. The other boy, a 14-year-old, has not been identified because he is a juvenile, reported the Blaze. Now why has this story, which happened weeks ago, not garnered the raw outrage and nation-wide protests that the Martin case has, you may ask? I’ll give you three guesses, and the first two don’t count.
