Critics say the "Today" show attempted to incite racial anger when it cut crucial seconds from audio of a phone call placed by George Zimmerman just before he killed the teenager.
In Interview With Piers Morgan, George Zimmerman's NBC News is being excoriated in some circles with competitor Fox News Channel leading the charge for selectively editing audio of the 911 call placed by George Zimmerman just before he killed Trayvon Martin.
The NBC segment in question featured anchor Ron Allen and ran on the Today show on Tuesday. On Thursday, Sean Hannity and guest Brent Bozell played the NBC version of the 911 call and compared it with the unedited version.
In the NBC segment, Zimmerman says: This guy looks like hes up to no good. He looks black.
The full version, though, unfolds like this:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like hes up to no good, or hes on drugs or something. Its raining and hes just walking around, looking about.
911 operator: Okay. And this guy, is he white black or Hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black.
After playing both versions, Hannity said: They forgot the dispatchers question! How could NBC, in good conscience, do that?
This isnt bias, this isnt distortion, this is an all-out falsehood by NBC News, answers Bozell, who runs a conservative watchdog group called the Media Research Center.

There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays.
Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.

It’s a gotcha...b*******.....
There, fixed it for 'em.
You mean NBC lies and misleads ?
I’m shocked
Disgusting. Purely disgusting.
Sure seems to meet the “knowing or reckless disregard for truth” standard...
This isnt bias, this isnt distortion, this is an all-out falsehood by NBC News, answers Bozell.
No, between this and the ABC attempt in hiding Zimmerman’s head injury with their icon, this is propoganda that has not been seen since Nazi Germany.
Just sayin'.

Another example of the Corrupt Liberal Media(CLM) in action.
Although there are some that say it should be accurately described as the “Corrupt Leftist Media”.
No matter. “Corrupt” is the operative word.
There is nothing “mainstream” about its values or ethics so please dont flatter it by calling it the “Mainstream Media”
Any person who in any way is harmed because of this propaganda needs to sue NBC for a trazillion dollars to teach them a lesson- thou shall not incite violence.
And let's not forget that the same company published stories on "cop-killer bullets" before the fact that cops wore body armor was general knowledge. Even though police associations and known anti-gunners BEGGED them not to run the story. The result, criminals began shooting cops in the head, and the number of dead cops increased.
Why would anybody be surprised that an organization with this pedigree, now an official part of the Obama regime, would do all they could to further their agenda, including exacerbating racial tensions in order to further polarize the nation, to try to ensure as much racial tension as possible before the election.

Find out who is responsible for the edit, who agreed to air it, and see if charges can be filed for causing to incite a riot.
So with the immediate appearance of Ass Sharpton and Jesse ‘Baby Daddy’ Jackass and then with ABC appearing to hide Zimmerman’s head injuries with their logo and now NBC appearing to doctor the tapes so as to appear racist, does ANYBODY think that someone from high up is trying to incite an all out race war?
What would be the one thing needed to declare martial law?
Accused???? Hell, they downright chopped the hell out of it, making the defender appear to be a racist. NBC is about as worthless as a news organization can get.
You know it, and I know it, but is there an ombudsman at NBC or is there anyone who can force retraction/apology?
Otherwise this just sits in the echo chamber and goes nowhere.
This guy looks like hes up to no good. (LAARGE CUT) He looks black.
Wow. That’s blood slander.
Tens of millions in lawsuit for that alone.
Boycott NBC.
