NBC News issued an apology Tuesday for the way it handled the broadcasting of the 911 conversation between George Zimmerman and a police dispatcher in the Trayvon Martin case.

Following reports that NBC aired audio of the call was edited in a way that implied Zimmerman was racist, the network launched an internal investigation.

"During our investigation it became evident that there was an error made in the production process that we deeply regret. We will be taking the necessary steps to prevent this from happening in the future and apologize to our viewers," the network said in a statement cited

If Obama had a son he probably would be a slimeball - just like these NBC people.

What investigation? This was a deliberate, top down decision to edit the tape and incite violence.

It can’t be taken back, which was the idea in the first place.

When the Obama constituents start burning down Central Florida, it would be nice if they started with the local NBC affiliate. Never happen, of course. Mores the pity.

I’m not advocating it, just saying that I would not find it an unpleasant event to witness.

Apologize to their VIEWERS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Where's the apology to George Zimmerman?
. . . and where’s the apology to me? Anyone who thinks that George Zimmerman is the real target is terminally naive - the real target is Republicans in general. Zimmerman, although actually a Democrat, has been made an “honorary” Republican (he’s white, don’t you know! for the purposes of making a smear of Zimmerman into a smear of us.

That's a good point. Since this fraud by NBC could not have been done except deliberately, it shows malice and intent to damage Zimmerman's ability to get a fair trial. Someone from NBC should be going to prison when this is all over with.

An error.

Selectively deleting part of the tape to completely change the context of what he said to fit their racist narrative.

Surely George is going to own NBC now.

Nothing is more touching, or heart-rending than watching left wing millionaires protect their wealth. Buffett owes what.. 1 billion in back taxes....over many years. Most give little or next to nothing to charity.

The boycotts and the calls for an NBC shutdown would have to come from people like us.

E-Mails,phone calls etc.

Apathy will get us nowhere.

NBC needs to have their feet held to the fire until they explain EXACTLY what happened in the creation of this piece of blatant race-baiting propaganda.

We need to see the full content of NBC's "internal investigation" and find out what group of "journalists" are responsible for this garbage. Then we need to see appropriate punishments meted out to the perpetrators.

NBC is unbelievable. They want to make it appear like it was a "simple mistake" when in reality it was a malicious attack against an individual (Zimmerman), as well as a downright dangerous and irresponsible distortion which should never have been broadcast.

Just exactly what kind of mayhem do these bastards want to create? They'd better be careful what they wish for...
