“Hard to grasp; just what kind of world these people want ‘their’ children growing up in; how vulnerable they want ‘their’ children to be; their families; in light of the hate the MSM has invited, promoted and celebrated .”

The guys in the back room are usually gay, so they could care less what this country looks like once they leave the planet.

“Looking at this photo, I’d say this dude is gay.”

If he’s not, he certainly could any drag queen contest. I also find it interesting that the gays came out yesterday in support of Trevon, just as Bell was getting canned.

Brian Williams is still employed? Isn’t he the “managing news editor”?

Don’t worry about the producer, there is a great desire for left wing “news” writers all over New York, D.C., Miami, Chicago, and L.A.

Axed instantly, but only if caught. Names, I don’t want unnamed news producers shaping my world. So lets have his name!!! When he shows up at CNN we will know they are hiring more liars.

...one has to wonder if the state run “media” wasn’t in on the planning of this fiasco from the beginning.

Can you say "Journ-o-List"?

I knew you could.

I think it was the NBC Producer that discovered Richard Jewell was the Olympic Park bomber.

If it was a mistake

The mistake was that they got caught at it!

I’d expect a lawsuit of NBC and demand this producer be named and a full investigation. Zimmerman should get as good lawyer on go on the offensive instead of being on defense. Hit them hard since they are trying to destroy him.

CBS TV, west coast, several decades ago. The more I thought about the “oopsie” defense, the sillier it got. Editors never do anything on their own on a video piece because the DGA contract requires supervision by either an associate director or a producer. And, any AD or producer who wasn’t adept at mirroring the desires of the suits wouldn’t last long enough to be “experienced”. This was just a direct reflection of corporate culture.

The nets had the monopoly on the tools of production, the means of distribution, and the money to buy the talent. All mostly gone now. Having the sole credible news division could be a life saver for one of them, but I doubt any is willing to sacrifice ideology to save themselves. So what we’ll see is the normal network response, the ritual assigning of blame, as they go down the tubes.

Come to think of it, there’s probably a great opportunity to produce an honest news network via streaming internet right now. We’re just about at the technological point cable was at when CNN came along, and God knows there’d be a market for truth.

Jim Bell’s an exec, not a worker bee, unlikely to be him.

He was getting tweets asking if he was the fired “seasoned producer.”

Hello, @jfb. Are you the “seasoned @TodayShow producer” who edited the George Zimmerman 911 audio to make him sound racist? If not, who did?
