This explains why George Zimmerman told his attacker's parents something like "I didn't know whether or not he was armed."

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.

This is strange. The article only says she "used" it, it doesn't say she wrote and/or edited the piece, nor who approved it for use (if NBC even does that sort of thing).

Fall guy (girl, and a pretty nice looking one at that!!)?

Please excuse me if I missed this information, but did they ever find a bag of Skittles and an Arizona Ice Tea in Trayvon's possession?

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.

..................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..............................

Time Out!

??I thought that it was established that the punk was black only after the 911 dispatcher asked Zim what was his race??

Per the story:

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.

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.

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?

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.
