Following in line with their broadcast television colleagues who deliberately edited the audio of a 9-1-1 call of George Zimmerman, the Florida community watch volunteer who shot teenager Trayvon Martin, to falsely impute racist motives to him, MSNBC.com, in an unbylined piece did the exact same thing in text form, stripping out vital information which made Zimmerman appear to be racially motivated against Martin, who is black.

After being criticized, MSNBC.com restored the proper context but never posted a retraction, correction notice, or an apology for doing so. Originally, the story quoted from Zimmerman's call to 9-1-1 and edited the text to say the following: "'This guy looks like he’s up to no good … he looks black,' Zimmerman told a police dispatcher from his car."

Unbelievable. After he is exonerated, Zimmerman needs to hire the worlds best attorneys and BANKRUPT MSNBC, ABC, CBS with lawsuits.

Glad I was sitting down when I read this...or that no one was next to me with a feather.

[hoosiermama]

Looks like MSM is walking backward.

[Red Badger]

They are STILL showing that pic of Trayvon Martin as a 12 year old skinny kid, when he was actually 6’ 3” and 160+ lbs!..............

[hoosiermama]

Maybe they saw this?

[Liberty Valance]

Quelle surprise!

Report: "MSNBC Fixes False Report Which Made Zimmerman Look Racist, Doesn't Acknowledge Error"

Response: Truth or falsity, it does not matter. What does matter is that this controvery is kept going until election time with pre-election riots in the summer and at the conventions.

Incredible. Glad I read this sitting down.

[SandRat]

Add CNN to tha list.

[Socon-Econ]

Now that this has come out, do Beck and Santorum still think Zimmerman is a racist? How about that National Review editor, who wrote that Al Sharpton was right?

[hoosiermama]

Who knows for sure he doesn’t have a son. We know nothing about his past.

[Deb]

Am I the only person who heard Dick Gregory, on Imus, say Trayvon was killed "by the state" FOR HIS ORGANS!!!!?????

If Obama is looking for pond scum he'll find tons of it at MSNBC. Not only that, take a look at ‘Rev’ Al. He leads marches for Trayvon and then reports on himself leading marches on his MSNBC show. A bigger bunch of leftist race-baiters would be hard to find.

[windcliff]

I actually read that Cheney received his heart.

[bgill]

I’m shocked! Shocked that they’d very quietly fix it, not that they lied.

Thanks for the ping, hoosiermama. And dewawi, I hope Zimmerman becomes one of the world's wealthiest men. What they have all done to him (all of them) is beyond criminal. May they rot in hell for their propaganda (sorry I'm in a very intolerant mood.... have been since summer 2008 and my mood is not getting any better.)

[DustyMoment]

This is starting to look like the sequel to what happened to Richard Jewell after the Atlanta bombing.

Where will George Zimmerman go to get his reputation, safety and life back when he is found innocent for engaging in self-defense after Trayvon attacked him??

Where will his parents go??

Will Obama, the NBPP, Roseanne, et al, apologize for their inappropriate attacks on Zimmerman and his family before all the facts were released??

(crickets)

[Thank You Rush]

“”Am I the only person who heard Dick Gregory””

I didn’t even know he was still kicking around!! Don’t these people EVER JUST DISAPPEAR?

[TigersEye]

Probably. No one else listens to Imus.
