If Zimmerman does not want to sue, I am there will be plenty of people in his family who will urge him to after all of the grief that they to have suffered. Oh yeah, that is true, his family would have standing to sue the media since they caused the angry mob to turn on them as well, the Zimmerman family has also been subject to death threats.
This is going to be one major public relations nightmare for the forces of political correctness. I wonder how the media are going to cover the lawsuits against them?
NBC played it smart - they fired the people responsible. A few years ago that would have worked. Zimmerman will be able to prove NBC has created a corporate environment that allows - encourages - lies to be told - so long as those lies are restricted to groups NBC deems 'outcasts'. People like conservatives - or any one or group that stood up to the dominate liberal culture.
In pre-World War II Germany it was OK to lie about Jews - but not OK to lie about Germans. In the fifties south it was OK to lie about blacks, but not OK to lie about whites.
That's what Zimmerman has to prove - that NBC has a pattern... The press will be dragged kicking and screaming into covering the issue... should be worthy of popcorn...
