ABC News is being accused of deceptively editing, or at least misrepresenting (intentionally or not), some of the comments made by Juror B29, the lone “nonwhite” juror in the George Zimmerman murder trial. Further, the media as a whole are being accused of manipulating some of her statements.
These allegations come not from a conservative news source, but rather from Slate.com.
The key phrase latched onto by most media outlets, due to its sensational nature, was “George Zimmerman got away with murder” — words that were, in fact, said by Juror B29. But the full unedited video of the comment, in context, tells a different story, claims Slate’s William Saletan.

That’s all every single media outlet here locally is running with, that one statement..if this Juror wanted to get attention she got it. Now she can go back to watching her reality show stories
Read the article. Her intent was that Zimmerman was morally culpable not legally. She agrees with the verdict.
Oh I know what she said, its just that the media keeps on taking that one snippet and using it to their advantage. Doesn’t matter what she actually said, matters the quote that keeps on being used over and over again
ABC stirring the RACIST SOUP. What’s the reason other than they are promoting more street violence. They should be sued along with NBC.
I could get into trouble for saying what I think should be done with ABC News.
Maybe you should learn to read and not make an ass of yourself.
They are trying to preserve the fiction they created.
For the “common good.”

I read the article, my point is that people are seeing on TV that quote over and over again. I know what she meant but people who are seeing on TV what she said are NOT seeing the entire context
They dont call ABC the All Barack Channel for nothing
Selective editing and ABC sound rather familiar.
I wonder if this whole thing is a put-up job to continue the Traydmark feeding frenzy?
Hopefully “Maddy” has had it with media interviews. They’re all a bunch of sharks.
NBC did the same thing so nothing new here
Do we really want vigilantes abusing the First Amendment to target their enemies?
Was that one of the un-aired deleted portions?
I was thinking of Gibson and Gov. Palin.
The MSM is stirring the race pot once more.
If it ruined their ratings before, it'll surely salvage them this time, eh?
What a mish/mash of I think I think.
