"The people with direct knowledge of the firing characterized the misleading edit as a mistake, not a purposeful act."

The very act of editing requires that one choose what to edit out and what to leave in so the above "characterization" is an out and out lie. Of course the editing was deliberate, purposeful act.

And Jesse Jackson’s daughter was just hired by FOX! With what has happened to Fox, the one who was fired could probably get a job with them, holding Geraldo’s hand,

I guess they decided, for some reason, that the “fake but accurate” defense wouldn’t work this time. Wonder why . . .

But then they were negligent on their oversight and fact checking. There does appear to be liability... but what the heck do I know?!

NBC is treating the identity of this fired “producer” as if he/she was a muslim.

Should be “a deliberate, purposeful act.”

ABCNNBCBS = GGTV = Gangster Govt TV = American Pravda

You owe Pravda an apology. At least they would show the Politburo in less than favorable light once in awhile.

ABC doing a little damage control?

“SANFORD, Fla. - New analysis of calls to police made by George Zimmerman, who shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, show a man who never offered up race as a descriptor of suspicious people in the neighborhood watch area until being prompted by a dispatcher.  On the calls he made to Sanford, Fla., police he seems reluctant to take initiative in pursuing one suspicious man.”

Let me be the first (I Think) to call BS on this. If NBC is not releasing a name, then how do we really know someone was fired...Think about it, they can say they did but there is no PROOF

And why would a PRODUCER be fired, when the EDITOR was the one who doctored the tape?

NBC: "Hey there, ______, does anyone else on your team know how to use Avid?"

Producer: "Oh, sure, two or three."

NBC: "Ok, you're fired."

Beause the editor was doing what the producer told them to.

It can be both, a mistake and a “purposeful act”.”

You nailed it!

Unless the EDITOR did it on his own and the PRODUCER is the designated fall guy.

"NBC is most likely acting on the advice of lawyers trying to limit liability. Zimmerman should go after them if he can. They’re running scared legally IMHO."

You better believe it. NBC paid $500,000 (in 1996 dollars!) to this man: Richard Jewell v. NBC

Generally, those low level tech positions are filled with people who could give a crap about content.

It’s the producer who makes editorial decisions.
