What's to investigate? They intended to mislead the listener, and succeeded. The lie is out the door, and that's all that matters.

Claiming to be doing an internal investigation is nothing more than a show, with the objective of sustaining the myth that the media is objective.

They can internally investigate all they want, but they will never admit they are not objective - and the facts show they are not objective. Man behind the curtain.

Liars.

it is good to know that Mr. Zimmerman will be able to settle very large lawsuits against these liars to make up for the trauma that subject him to now.

NBC makes me ill. Early on, they reported Zimmerman’s workplace along with a picture of the building. Last night they had a story titled: Zimmerman was previously arrested (in 2005)for “obstruction of justice”

ADVERTISER BOYCOTT!!!!

Who's with me?!?

This meqns that some low level audio editor at NBC will get canned. The freaking leftist producers who ordered that edit will survive.

Can I ask a stupid question? Do the higher ups at NBC News not know what their own “editorial processes” are for new stories?

Do they have different editorial processes depending on the type of story they are covering, so that’s why they don’t know what the process would have been on this one?

Do they routinely allow stories to go on the air which have not been reviewed by editors? Which then might prompt an interal review such as this one? Is that not a severe lapse in judgement for a news organization if that’s the case????

How many black racists were motivated to maim and murder by this little Liberal Klan act? The liberal media does have blood on it’s hands from their race power witch hunts and ractist “diversity” doctrines.

We have a racist in the White and a racist running the DOJ. Maybe that is why they are arming the mexican drug cartels.

Amazing what weasels the networks have become. ABC hides the truth with a chyron and NBC uses deceptive editing. Hey CBS, what you got for us?

[TigersEye]

The LMM (lynch mob media) is going to investigate itself? lol

There is absolutely no doubt NBC edited to alter what really took place. It can’t be claimed this was simply an editing error. To believe that one would have to assume these are not professionals doing the editing, that they don’t think about context. They of course do this day in and day out for a living and knew exactly what they were doing.

Gord head NBC. You are just making GZ’s lawyers job all the more easy.

[DeaconRed]

What do you expect from the network that has Al Sharpton as a commentator.
I will not call him Reverend because he is not a Reverend.
The idiot said Jesus was homeless and that is why he was born in a manger.
A true Reverend would know better. . . .
They were on their way to Jerusalem to pay their taxes. . .

[freeangel]

NBC simply wants to know who gets the raise for inflaming the situation.

I think you might find this an interesting thread considering what we were discussing the other day on this thread:

So much for Comcast coming in and cleaning up the NBC "News" operation.

I think NBC has answered by tagline question, they are evil.

Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.

Rights are not absolute -- freedom of the press is just too dangerous. After all, the founders could never have forseen cable news, the 1-minute news cycle and fully-automatic assault printing presses.

Therefore it is abundently reasonable to require members of the press to acquire a license after mandatory training in slander, libel, and the definition of the words "true" and "false" along with a two-week waiting period.

Breaches truth like the above quoted will result in permanent loss of license and lifetime prohibition from owning and/or accessing the means to disseminate public information for life.
