And let us not forget that it was a FReeper, Buckhead, who first revealed that the Bush/Rather memos were fabricated..

“NBC is most likely acting on the advice of lawyers trying to limit liability. “

I would have LOVED to be a fly-on-the-wall in the meeting where the Risk Management Dept. lawyer told them how many dollars they could be on the hook for, should one of MSNBC’s insane, hate-filled watchers do something stupid, let alone the damages for defamation they may already face.

Probably not obstruction of justice, since they didn’t prevent law enforcement officials from obtaining evidence. But very, very likely slander, and possibly incitement to riot, as well as most certainly an abuse of the public airwaves, and ample cause for the FCC to remove their broadcast license.

I agree. In fact, my wife, who regularly chastises me for taking conservative positions, is shocked and outraged by this, and considered NBC’s apology an insult to her intelligence.

NBC needs to have it’s FCC License pulled.

A common misconception. NBC doesn't have or need an FCC license because NBC does not broadcast. Rather, their affiliate stations do. It is the stations that have a FCC license.

It isn’t only the removal of the dispatcher’s question, but also Zimmerman’s actual explanation of why he looked like he was “up to no good”.

Thanks for the clarification and additional info. I heard the clip(s) on a late night radio show discussing the affair and perhaps missed that part.

I wish Rush would release his multitudes on the LSM.

See F. Chuck on the Mall or in front of the White House?
Get in his face and humiliate him.

Ron Allen in flyover country? Ask him why he aired that piece. The O’Donnell/Mitchell/Maddow Bimbettes? Let them know we know they lie.

Double for the local NBC affiliates covering the snow storm or the “if it bleeds, it leads” story.

There are a few network owned/operated stations subject to FCC licensing.

He is not the only guilty one. There is a corporate environment at NBC and its cable cousins then promotes and enables this type behavior. To select one low-level producer instead of a top on down coup is to create a scapegoat.

Networks don’t have or need ‘broadcast licenses’. Those belong to individual stations.

Certainly a case could be made that NBC meets the standard of ‘reckless disregard of the truth’ and is guilty of defamation and libel.

Respond by persuading Zimmerman to sue for libel, keeping the issue in the news and dragging NBC through their slimy operation in court.

Way back in the day when I was a debt collector, clients would sometimes believe their former clients who had stiffed them. They would believe their claims of racial slurs, threats, and various other things that we had not done. Back in those days we never ever told a client that they were wrong(even though they were). So we simply said that we would remove that collector from their accounts. Really all we did was change their dunning name.

Since the name of the parties are cloaked so well in this case...I really have to wonder if are dealing a little bit of a shell game.

They probably hired him back under another phony name!

They also declined to name the fired producer.

So, they claim they fired a producer. Sure they did.

I never thought about that until you mentioned it... but it just may be true.
