For the cause! (raised fist)
And we are supposed to believe them when they don’t even Identify the person. It is not past the MSM to make something up now is it.

Yep. I think it's becoming apparent that not only did NBC purposely edit the tape, but there is no "fired producer"...
I tend to agree.
Exactly. As long as he/she is anonymous they don’t actually have to fire it.
Williams has really been the face of the leftist media ever since I first saw him on syndicated NBC newscasting in the early 2000s. Another pseudo-Catholic, too.
Zimmerman could sue for damages, but that is a ways away.
not “a million”
millions!!!
I suspect the “fired” producer will be re-assigned/re-cycled. The Zimmerman smear was a ‘vast’ NBC conspiracy, not a “mistake” of one individual.
How can anyone believe anyone was fired when NBC is making the claim. NBC has NO credibility. ZERO credibility. To be believed, they must give a name. The person should be interviewed by others in the press and forced to confess and apologize for his/her/its outrage.
Perhaps this is nothing but theater, yet another lie, and they didn’t really fire anyone.
“OK,and this (Brian Williams) guy – is he black,white or Hispanic?”
Frankly, I seriously doubt anyone was fired.
I think this is nothing but a BS smokescreen.
To cover up network-wide dishonesty.
But that’s just my opinion. Call me cynical.
Indeed - his family should retain the attorney that represented Richard Jewell, who was smeared by the networks after the Atlanta Olympic bombing.
And as discovery progresses in the case, NBC will have to reveal the name of the producer, who should then be joined as a co-defendant in the suit.
And I’d add Comcast and GE as parent companies of NBC for good measure.
Or they "fired" somebody who was going to retire anyway, and agreed to fall on the sword in exchange for a sweet retirement package.
Yes, but what would become of (C)Rock Center? (snicker)
Trust but verify.
This paragon of ethics and honesty has given us no reason to trust anything they say.
If they can manipulate a quote into a lie, they can certainly falsely claim to have done something.
The producers, writers and editors, in both NBC and NYT need to be brought up on criminal charges. The talking heads on NBC and any other “news” outfit, TV and/or radio, that repeated that propaganda need to be brought up on conspiracy in furtherance of whatever criminal charges are brought against the primary perps.
Freedom of speech was never meant to cover straight up lies. And, this is a case of shouting fire in a theater.
Being employed by a “journalist” outfit should not ever resolve anyone from issues of basic integrity and honesty. If we keep letting them get away with this, we’re going to loose the entire concept of free press in the eventual lash-back.
