Dear Mainstream Media,

Posted on June 26, 2013 by Margaret Elysia Garcia

It is not okay CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX to give lip service or less to important news breaking stories. George Zimmerman is an OLD STORY. Scared man with a gun kills non-armed teen for being black. The end. 

The story yesterday was all about WENDY DAVIS. WENDY DAVIS. WENDY DAVIS. She stood there for 10 hours straight reading testimony of women and their doctors. She gave voice to women around the country and stood courageously while the gallery of the Texas legislature filled with women and their supporters. IN TEXAS. She fought for our collective right to privacy and the senators around her nit-picked and called her out of order for speaking to wand probes and needing a back brace to keep standing. This is what the news story was yesterday and you hid and missed it. SHAME ON YOU.
