As I understand it Brian Williams pretended he was introducing Chelsea live at the beginning of her first “report” but it was actually recorded. NBC is notorious for distorting, or not reporting, the facts.
NBC, ABC and CNN ALL outright lied about Zimmerman. All 3 are in CYA mode like a cat trying to cover up it’s excrement.
Zimmerman didn’t profile Martin. It’s clear from the 911 tape (the unabridged one, not the fake NBC version) that Zimmerman didn’t even know Martin’s race, when he decided to check further. (Martin was hiding his face in a hoodie.)
Zimmerman is sitting in his truck. It doesn’t seem like Martin was trying to hide his face in a hoodie at all.
911 dispatcher:
OK, is he White, Black, or Hispanic?
Zimmerman:
He looks black.
911 dispatcher:
Did you see what he was wearing?
Zimmerman:
Yeah, a dark hoodie like a gray hoodie. He wore jeans or sweat pants and white tennis shoes. Hes here now hes just staring. [00:42]
911 dispatcher:
Hes just walking around the area, the houses? OK.
Zimmerman:
Now hes staring at me. [00:48]
911 dispatcher:
OK, you said thats 1111 Retreat View or 111?
Zimmerman:
Thats the clubhouse.
911 dispatcher:
Hes near the clubhouse now?
Zimmerman:
Yeah, now hes coming toward me. Hes got his hands in his waist band.
And hes a black male.[1:03]
911 dispatcher:
How old would you say he is?
Zimmerman:
Hes got something on his shirt. About like his late teens.
911 dispatcher:
Late teens?
Zimmerman:
Uh, huh.
