Conservative Fox News host Sean Hannity claims that the media and lawmakers are exaggerating the Trayvon Martin case. On a recent episode of his show he questioned the reaction to the surveillance footage of George Zimmerman after he shot Trayvon. He also lambasted Reverend Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson’s roles in the case. The Huffington Post.com reports:

Sean Hannity hit out at the media and lawmakers over Trayvon Martin on Wednesday, alleging that they were jumping to conclusions about the controversy.

Martin, an unarmed teenager, was shot by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman in late February. His death and the local police department’s failure to arrest his shooter took the country by storm last week. On Wednesday, Hannity alleged that “left-wing personailities and even members of Congress” were using Martin’s death to make “highly inflammatory rhetoric.”

He took issue with ABC News for posting police surveillance video on the night of the shooting with the headline: “Trayvon Martin Video Shows No Blood or Bruises on George Zimmerman.”

He wondered if the media was trying to “spin” the story in a panel with Williams and CL Bryant, a former NAACP leader who has been critical of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton’s roles in the controversy.
