From her Univision days.

Lilia Luciano, an NBC News correspondent based in Miami (more like WTVJ studios in Miramar) has been fired by the network for using an edited version of George Zimmerman’s 911 call on the Today show on March 20. In her story the edit omitted the underlined phrase below:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good or on drugs or something. He’s got his hand in his waistband. And he’s a black male. Dispatcher: Are you following him?

But in the liberal worldview, a white (hispanic) simply thinking a young black male might be armed is racist.
It does not matter that this young black male is skulking about an area with multiple burglaries while its raining.
In the end, Zimmerman goes free and will successfully sue some elements of the media for millions.
A few days ago, the NBC station in Miami reportedly fired a REPORTER for omitting the dispatcher’s question to Zim about the race of the suspicious person.
This is a different instance, another blatant example of the bias rampant in national and local media. Imagine the information these fake journalists and their colleagues have withheld over the years. They got CAUGHT this time.

She is Puerto Rican. Interesting that she would do that.
Wait a minute. Is this a different conversation? What happened to the “he looks black” response?
Very confusing, seems like this is the third or more person supposedly fired. Misdirection? maybe no one got fired
Fall guy (girl, and a pretty nice looking one at that!!)?
Smell the litigation fear of the racist Big Media propagandists.
Didn't he got to the store to buy the snacks for his younger brother?
If he was buying the snacks for his brother, why is it that nobody noticed Trayvon didn't return until the next day?
More than one person used an already edited audio clip.
Question 1: Who originally edited the clip that others later used?
Question 2: Who ordered that done and who approved it?
I think it was done by people over at MSNBC. Who?
In all seriousness, I think this story botched the nature of the botched edit. What was edited out came before the stuff underlined here.
He won't "go free" as long as Holder is at the Justice Department. If found "not guilty" in the state court, he will be charged with a federal crime.
That is not considered double jeopardy and there are plenty of precedents.
I'm wondering about that too. Are we talking about two different conversations and two different edits?
First time I've seen this conversation:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good or on drugs or something. He’s got his hand in his waistband. And he’s a black male. Dispatcher: Are you following him?
And its "edited" version. Unless that's an edit of an earlier edited version. Maybe at the trial the judge and jury will hear the entire conversation and not N.B.C.s version.
Yes, good catch. Thanks.
This is, believe it or not, a different malicious edit of the same passage.
The one you are thinking about is the first one, where they left out the question from the dispatcher.
This second malicious edit is even more damnable and impossible to deny — she took this “waistband” clip from much later in the clip and inserted it into the early part of the conversation.
We’ll see. My predictions. Nothing will happen with this case before the election. Within 24- 30 months Zimmerman will be cleared. He will sue NBC, CNN and other for millions. Eric Holder will be gone by November. Obama will lose. The Feds won’t get involved. There will be riots but they won’t be in white areas so few non-blacks will be affected or ultimately care.
And all this will happen on Obama's watch. And people who voted for him will think "Even having a black president will not buy peace. Maybe it's time to go the other way."
From her Univision days.
Inquiring minds want to know!
There's no denying that is willful and malicious and should be a slam dunk for Zimmerman's civil suit against N.B.C. I hope he bankrupts them.

Time Out!
??I thought that it was established that the punk was black only after the 911 dispatcher asked Zim what was his race??
“Skulking”. Very astute description.
It does seem likely that Zimmerman, if he isn't murdered, will spend the next ten or more years either in prison or fighting lawsuits. Any chance of a normal productive life is gone. All the facts could have been exactly the same and he might have been exonerated as acting in legitimate self-defense if Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Tavis Smiley, and the other media types had not latched on to the story.
Henceforth known as Unlucky Luciano.
If he's acquitted, he should immediatly pack up and move to Maricopa County, AZ.
Make Holder go after him there.
??I thought that it was established that the punk was black only after the 911 dispatcher asked Zim what was his race??
It was. This snippet of the conversation took place later (and Zimmerman never called 911; he called the nonemergency number and spoke with a nonemergency dispatcher.) Here's part of the conversation that should clear it up for you:
Dispatcher: Sanford Police Department. …
Zimmerman: Hey we've had some break-ins in my neighborhood, and there's a real suspicious guy, uh, [near] Retreat View Circle, um, the best address I can give you is 111 Retreat View Circle. This guy looks like he's up to no good, or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about.
Dispatcher: OK, and this guy is he white, black, or Hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black.
Dispatcher: Did you see what he was wearing?
Zimmerman: Yeah. A dark hoodie, like a grey hoodie, and either jeans or sweatpants and white tennis shoes. He's [unintelligible], he was just staring…
Dispatcher: OK, he's just walking around the area…
Zimmerman: …looking at all the houses.
Dispatcher: OK…
Zimmerman: Now he's just staring at me.
Dispatcher: OK—you said it's 1111 Retreat View? Or 111?
Zimmerman: That's the clubhouse…
Dispatcher: That's the clubhouse, do you know what the—he's near the clubhouse right now?
Zimmerman: Yeah, now he's coming towards me.
Dispatcher: OK.
Zimmerman: He's got his hand in his waistband. And he's a black male.
In her story the edit omitted the underlined phrase below:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good or on drugs or something. He’s got his hand in his waistband. And he’s a black male. Dispatcher: Are you following him?
Nonsense. The article just edited an enormous chunk of the entire Zimmerman conversation to come up with the quote that it says Lila Luciano edited. Here's what the article (not Lila Luciano) edited:
Zimmerman: Hey we've had some break-ins in my neighborhood, and there's a real suspicious guy, uh, [near] Retreat View Circle, um, the best address I can give you is 111 Retreat View Circle. This guy looks like he's up to no good, or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about.
Dispatcher: OK, and this guy is he white, black, or Hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black.

Zimmerman: Yeah. A dark hoodie, like a grey hoodie, and either jeans or sweatpants and white tennis shoes. He's [unintelligible], he was just staring…

Zimmerman: …looking at all the houses.
Dispatcher: OK…
Zimmerman: Now he's just staring at me.
Dispatcher: OK—you said it's 1111 Retreat View? Or 111?
Zimmerman: That's the clubhouse…
Dispatcher: That's the clubhouse, do you know what the—he's near the clubhouse right now?
Zimmerman: Yeah, now he's coming towards me.
Dispatcher: OK.
Zimmerman: He's got his hand in his waistband. And he's a black male.
Dispatcher: How old would you say he looks? Zimmerman: He's got button on his shirt, late teens. Dispatcher: Late teens ok.immerman: Somethings wrong with him. Yup, he's coming to check me out, he's got something in his hands, I don't know what his deal is. Dispatcher: Just let me know if he does anything ok Zimmerman: How long until you get an officer over here? Dispatcher: Yeah we've got someone on the way, just let me know if this guy does anything else.
Zimmerman: Okay. These assholes they always get away. When you come to the clubhouse you come straight in and make a left. Actually you would go past the clubhouse.
Dispatcher: So it's on the lefthand side from the clubhouse?
Zimmerman: No you go in straight through the entrance and then you make a left…uh you go straight in, don't turn, and make a left. Shit he's running.
Dispatcher: He's running? Which way is he running?
Zimmerman: Down towards the other entrance to the neighborhood.
Dispatcher: Which entrance is that that he's heading towards?
Zimmerman: The back entrance…fucking [unintelligible]
Dispatcher: Are you following him?
They claimed she only edited out "He's got his hand in his waistband." That's seven words.
Actually, she edited out 318 words, not seven, between "This guy look's like he's up to no good . . . " and "Are you following him?"
Or go pay a long visit to his mother's side of the family in Peru. Invite Sharpton and Jackson to come visit.
This blog goes into more detail than most would ever care to know on the call edits.
NBC Fires Lilia Luciano Over George Zimmerman Tape Edit
http://www.talkleft.com/story/2012/5/4/02841/64439
The Zimmerman/Trayvon story’s gotten attention. Enough attention to showcase NBC ‘journalists’ using editing to lie to the public.
I doubt this was the first time NBC staff manipulated material to produce a lie. Just the first time they got caught.
Bias and a willingness to support one side - even when it means lying - is systemic though-out NBC... NBC needs to do more than fire a few people - they need to teach “old school” journalists ethics to their people.
