they are trying to back-peddle already
I had a black cab driver the other day, in Charlotte NC, and he was all bent out of shape about the case- until i told him that trayvon attacked zimmerman first and then he said “Oh well I woulda shot his ass to then” - then he started goin on about how embarrassed he was by idiots like Al Sharpton This is going to backfirl on The MEdia and The Poverty Pimps
This is one of those things which should take them down once and for all. There should be class action suits, boycotts, firings of executives, editors, and operators, all for trying to incite racial strife!
How many advertisers will pull their ads, stations stop carrying them? This is the difference, we won't go out into the streets and protest and raise hell about it when other groups would.
I say boycott this network and sue them into oblivion for this! In fact, other media should be getting the same treatment for this mismanagement and irresponsible reporting!
Here's Wikipedia excerpt:
"Richard Jewell v. NBC
Jewell sued NBC News for this statement, made by Tom Brokaw, "The speculation is that the FBI is close to making the case. They probably have enough to arrest him right now, probably enough to prosecute him, but you always want to have enough to convict him as well. There are still some holes in this case". Even though NBC stood by its story, the network agreed to pay Jewell $500,000.[9]"
Ooh, Lin Wood, Cain's lawyer, was Jewell's lawyer in all his libel suits. Most settled for undisclosed amounts. And here's the funny last sentence: "Jewell's case became an example of the damage that can be done by reporting based on unreliable or incomplete information, and "led to soul-searching among news organizations about the use of unattributed or anonymously sourced information.""
Yup, media "soul-searching" is as effective as Obama's "civility lectures".
