It's mail call time again - for emails sent to us but meant for Fox News. I didn't do a mail post last week because we didn't have any worth posting. But Fox viewers had a lot to say this week and most of it had to do with the George Zimmerman trial. But while the volume of mail may have increased, the same cannot be said for the writing skills of Fox News viewers. Here for your weekend insights into the minds of Fox News fans is our latest batch.
As always, names and other identifying information have been redacted. Spelling and grammar has been left intact.

Dear Sir , No President of any country in the world has come and said "If I had a son would like the person who was killed." Our President Mr. Obama by saying was creating division between our American People. My question is How come he is not been impeached. His action created riots and hate
and division. Why American Politicians and American people are quite.and when the raise card stop. I came from Iraq and I am Assyrian but if you were in Iraq or any part of the world and ask me what are you I would said that I am Iraqi, today I am American Citizen and if you ask me in any part of the world what are you I will say I am American. I don't understand why black people said that they are african american. they are american and spanish people they are american as American we should stop using these words if we all say that we are American I think the raise card will disappear . Mr. President should come to TV and ask apology for his act or he should be inpached. As proud American I have right to express my opinion.
Sincerely .

I am appalled as I flip the channels.. CNN's coverage tonight on the Zimmerman trial will only create violence. Nancy Grace herself is questioning the verdict with her arrogant , opinionated loud mouth. It is disgusting that she is allowed to be on a news channel. She always has had her own political opinions shouted out as if they were "fact".
Their coverage is not news-- it is about " agendas". I hope Fox New continues to provide both sides of all the news -- like you do. I have the greatest respect for all of you! Furthermore, I would challenge CNN as "news coverage". I find them more like a comic strip: pure entertainment.
If there are any riots--- injuries and violence from the Zimmerman case, I blame CNN for contributing to this. they continue to be irresponsible and project opinions rather than facts!!!!
Thanks again for all of you at Fox News!

Subect: "America Live"
To whom it may concern : Today,17 July 2013, approx,11:30 hrs MST from Mohave Valley,Arizona,: I was watching "America Live "hosted by Martha McCullum who had a segment with Kristen Powers debating the issue of the Black Caucus demanding Civil Rights violations charges against George Zimmerman. Kristen Powers stated that Trevon Martin did not commit any criminal act. The facts of the trial brought out that : Trevon Martin verbally assaulted and physically battered George Zimmerman and it was also established "both" men were involved in mutual combat on the ground described as Zimmerman Having Martin straddle him. All three of those acts, Assault (verbal threat of bodily harm) Battery (the unlawful touching of another) Mutual Combat (fighting in public) are all criminal offenses no matter how minimal ie misdemeanor in most States in our country. Either Kristen Powers misspoke, or is unaware of the facts of the case or the law to say no criminal act occurred. She also stated the "Stand your Ground Law " which was also NOT involved in the trial. I do not wish to argue a case resolved by a jury. The mere uttering on national television of this type of error is what is dividing and polarizing the people. I respect most all of the contributors you present however I do not always agree with what is said. I mention this because it appears today no matter what page of a paper,what segment of a news broadcast it is all editorialized. Thats ok as long as both sides are delivered and it is "upfront" editorial. You see I was taught to find the facts of an incident and study them to find if they are corroborated by statement,evidence or science and if the law applies to them in order to determine a violation of law occurred.This also works when reading actual facts in a newspaper to form an opinion however that story falls into fiction writing when facts are distorted,chronologically changed, omitted or fabricated.That also carries over to verbally rendering the story and when the same disregard to the facts and their genuineness occurs the credibility of the journalist is diminished. I believe Kristen Powers is a better journalist than what she portrayed today. I have seen her do better performances. This is not about her but about having the facts and the knowledge of the subject to avoid error that causes division. Thank you

Subject: Zimmerman coverage
All the coverage on the George Zimmerman situation plays right into the president's hands. He doesn't want you mentioning Benghazi, IRS, etc. And Fast and Furious, what was that? Keep your eye on the ball. Lois Lerner should be big news. And Hillary Clinton is going to get away with Benghazi never being resolved and then become president. Check with Vince Foster on that. And Eric Holder, where do I begin? Re-hashing Zimmerman just takes away from what you should be checking into and letting us know and putting pressure on to resolve. And how about those Philadelphia precincts that had over 19,000 votes cast for president, all for one candidate. Who got exemptions from obamacare and who didn't and why? And on and on. Check it out. Carry on,

Subject: Treyvon Martin post trial
As a faithful and appreciative Fox News viewer, I am VERY distressed that Fox is continually discussing and therefor aggravating the "Race"situation.
The trial is OVER.
Drop IT. Continually raising the topic is providing more unwelcome publicity to all concerned.
Those who want it should be ignored.
No matter who raises the topic I am changing the channel.
This goes for the FIVE ,usually informative and fun, only 10 minutes ago.
Thank you for considering an alternative view point

Why haven't we heard about the supposed 8 billion dollars that was paid to Morsi to give the Siani to Hamas? Its been on Egyptian TV ch 14. Might make a good story.
I can't say for sure this next one is meant for Fox but it seems that way.

Jantell friend of Travon is wearing ear piece. Someone is telling her what to say on her recent interviews.
She also looks dolled up. She got paid to lie on the stand.
Why didn't she call to make sure travon was ok if she really new he was scared.? Even after 2 days she still didn't care to call him to find out if he's ok. Someone had to contact her to tell her. She's. Lier
That's it for now. Stay tuned for another batch next week!
Yes, I do, too.
I would agree that this week we have some interesting “weekend insights into the minds of Fox News fans”, except for the fact that Fox viewers have no discernible minds. The proof of that is painfully obvious above.
