Fox News analyst: NBC News ‘on the hook’ in Zimmerman lawsuit
Washington Post ^ | July 17, 2013 | Erik Wemple

Posted on 07/18/2013 7:04:25 AM PDT by kevcol

Lis Wiehl, a Fox News analyst, said, “That’s absolutely not enough. NBC is on the hook here for a big defamation, intentional infliction with emotional stress lawsuit here. They doctored that tape. It went out there. It started the whole narrative of Zimmerman being this hardened racist, this profiling racist that started everything.”
.
.
Accordingly, NBC will have to pay out a “countless amount of money and probably millions of dollars,” argued Wiehl. All agreed that it would cost big bucks for NBC to make this case go away. That sounds about right.

Zimmerman was one of the Neighborhood Watchman for this complex, so his job is to profile. This is true if you are a cop, your job is to profile.

George and family will be able to move to a large estate with gates
They will be able to run their trust or any business from its wing
Their lives will change. It will be that of the royals or rich and famous
I wish them well

Maybe I missed it, but I would think they would have made a big deal out of the fact that Martin had no signs of injury on his body, other than the gunshot. Quite a contrast to GZ’s bloodied head.

If this becomes a trial in NYC, there is no way in hell GZ gets a penny.
The libtards in NYC all think GZ DID profile TM, DID intentionally and with malice gun down Skittles and DID make the world a worse place simply by being alive.
If this goes to trial, it will be a circus of malcontents.

If I walk into a black neighborhood, you know I am being profiled.

But THAT is okay.

there should be no confidentiality agreement and EACH AND EVERY talking head in their employ must confess they lied.

That’s true. I’ve been profiled in the darker parts of Chicago because I was white. Guy that was driving insisted on getting off the expressway early because he thought he new a “shortcut”. Wasn’t five minutes before we got pulled over by two cops who tossed the whole truck looking for the drugs they were sure we were there buying.

Do you honestly think she can ever do any job which doesn't involve the use of her mouth?

Too true.

GZ is a private citizen who was defamed and who's right to a fair and unbiased consideration of the FACTS of the allegation were (continue to be) compromised.... The facts were knowingly and maliciously corrupted, by ‘professional’ journalistic concerns and journalists! He DOES have recourse in the law.

Anything we can do to help NBC bleed more money to Zimmerman and his lawyers, please let us know.

Die, MSM, die, suffer, die, die, die.

I profile people all day long. Every day.

I profile balcks as having higher rates of hypertension.
I profile native Americans because they have higher rates of diabetes.
I profile light skined people because they have a higher risk of skin cancers.

If I don’t profile I might miss a diagnosis and they may get sicker....

That's the interesting part. The person responsible for editing the tape was immediately fired. So, NBC has already admitted that he screwed up.

Zimmerman needs to devote the rest of his life to making NBC pay. I would.
