He should also go after CNN for revealing his social security number.
May those lawyers make tons of money from the sleazenetworks.
And may Zimmerman make even more.
Screw ‘em...screw ‘em often, and screw ‘em well.
Rest.
Then screw ‘em again.
Sue them for 879.3 billion dollars please.
He should close down the company, just a democrat mouth piece.
He should go after Nancy Grace for being a race baiter that incites hate.
“There are a couple of problems with this defense. First, the media doesn’t get protection when their libelous reporting creates a “public figure.” Zimmerman did not set out to make himself a public figure — he holds no elective office, and didn’t publicize his efforts at neighborhood-watch security. He was entirely obscure before the shooting, and only NBC’s false report made him into a national figure.”
This is the Menedez Defense, “Because we killed our parents, we are now orphans” Go George! Sue everyone connected with this injustice!
It is the old what they knew and when the knew it. If Zimmerman can prove that they knew about the extent of his injuries and did not report it, they have a case for reckless disregard.
Go for it.
It’s going to hinge on whether Zimmerman was a “public figure” at the time he was defamed. If so, he could actually still win, because what they did looks intentional (actual malice, reckless disregard, etc...). If not, then it’s just a matter of negligence, which they have pretty much admitted.
Does anyone else find it troubling that a national media organization for profit can render a private citizen into a public figure and then claim immunity or at least limited liability because the citizen has become a public figure?
Even assuming that Zimmerman must pass the public figure hurdle, it seems self-evident that NBC knew this report was false because NBC made it false.

One hopes that Mr. Zimmerman is successful in crippling this bunch of thugs and drives the company into bankruptcy liquidation.
