Why haven't these 2 reporters been fired?

Two reporters- Jeff Burnside and Christina Hernandez from NBC Miami wrote or co-wrote at least 3 articles using this despicably distorted quote of George Zimmerman: "This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.”
An NBC producer was allegedly fired for this same offense. Why weren't these two reporters terminated.

Maybe we need to call another number to complain. They definitely need to hear from the masses that are sick of their manufactured news that is fanning the flames of a race riot.

Before this if over and if poor George Zimmerman can stay alive, he may become a very rich man by suing the pants off of NBC and affiliates.

They are the new ruling class. Of course they’re not fired.

Was the NBC producer identified, or an imaginary straw man?

What do you think?

NBC was stupid to fire him. Now he has no reason to protect them or their system. In fact if I was a scape goat I’d be pissed.

Interesting post. So apparently NBC used the out of context Zimmerman quote in print before they ever used it on the Today show. It hurts their argument that it was a one-time editing accident.

Third News Network Admits to False Reporting on George Zimmerman

The first was NBC, which admitted doctoring a 911 tape. This is not an accident that takes place in the hustle and bustle of putting together a newscast.

Then all of a sudden ABC decides that they're gonna enhance the video, and they say that they strip a layer away -- this is police video, by the way, now -- and that all of a sudden, lo and behold, there is evidence of injury on the back of George Zimmerman's head.

Now it is CNN saying that after enhancing the audio of Zimmerman's 911 call, they don't think he used a racial slur after all.

The Lynch Mob Media achieved its purpose. It whipped up a frenzy of racial hatred to promote its leftist agenda. Now they're doing a few "oops" corrections to try and save some credibility with the gullible. Only a fool would buy anything they peddle after this.

NBC fires cherry bombs. The reporters are not cherry bombs -- but an argument can be made that the reporters' lies are likely to cause an explosion.

I don't think anyone was fired. Since this story broke, there's been more lies than ever.

Perfectly reasonable position. NBC's corporate word is worthless.

Oh, how I hope there are lawsuits! Big, juicy, ruinously expensive anti-MSM lawsuits, well publicized by the alternative media!
