This is where the internet fails as a communication medium -- I have absolutely no idea what the tone of your question is. I have to tell you, though, that it doesn't feel friendly... Still, I'll answer it straightforwardly.
First, I think it's patently obvious that cable news outlets go for the sensational angle first, even when what they say is true. I'm not sure how that's "knowing better" than them (or than you, who also seems to distrust them). Second, I think it's unlikely that every jury in the history of juries has decided correctly, and I contrasted that opinion with what looked to me like your more trusting one. So maybe, in that case, I was implying that I know better than you, or at least that I have less respect for the common man than you do (if the latter, it may not be an opinion I'm proud of, but, yeah, I think I hold it).
I'm not sure I know better than the Zimmerman jury with regard to the specific charge they adjudicated. But "everything that could be retrieved of the facts" suggests to me that something unkosher went down, even if it wasn't manslaughter.
