Liberals pushing a Marxist agenda to race bait via an edited taps, which got the blacks in a tizzy.

Zimmerman, who will not be convicted, should sue for a cool billion dollars.

Tell Immelt to pay his fair share.

NBC didn't hesitate to plaster Zimmerman's name all over their articles.

Why not the name of the individual who did the editing?

Perhaps it was done because of raciest hate?

” has undertaken rigorous efforts to formalize the editorial safeguards in place at the network.”

Shouldn’t a credible news organization have editorial safeguards formalized from the get-go?

“time constraints” = we only had time enough to lie.

According to NBC, the controversial clip, which appeared during its "Today" morning news show, was edited deliberately by the producer to fit within time constraints and not for some other reason.

Then why fire such an innocent person and destroy their career?

From an insider: “The original version they were planning was the following but they couldn’t find all the words on the tape to splice together, so they went for a simpler, more subtle version. They were planning to hire a lefty special effects studio to computer generate the missing words but time was running short. They didn’t want another network or Huffington or Politico to beat them to it.”

Zim: “It’s another one of those damn black guys looking around to buy drugs, break into a home, or rape a white woman or white Hispanic woman or a Hispanic white woman or a Hispanic woman in that order. I’m going to shoot his ass the first chance I get.”

The dispatcher says, “You don’t need to to that.”

Zim: “F that! That black Negro is dead when I see him!”

Of course it wasn’t deliberate. It was just a kinda axedent when that tape got cut perfectly to illicit the proper response from the listening audience. It was...

merely another Fluke.

Misleading the public to a racist conclusion was the ONLY motivation behind the editing.
The NBC News President is lying.

They are hoping that Zimmerman doesn’t sue them.

Would NBC accept this level of response from, say, Beitbart for such an editing issue?

“NBC News President Insists Zimmerman Edit ‘Not a Deliberate Act to Misrepresent’”

TRANSLATION:
“The Corporate Attorneys told me we could be facing tens of millions of dollars in potential liability, especially if one of MSNBC’s whackjob, barely sane, hate-filled viewers does something stupid based on this.”

He seems to feel entitled to a presumtion of innocence no one in his organization appears to have ever offered to Zimmereman.

“Capus said that the network “takes its responsibility seriously” and has undertaken rigorous efforts to formalize the editorial safeguards in place at the network. “

-

Is he trying to claim that in the last 85 years, the first news network in America has no formal editorial safeguards?

With all due respect: What a monumental steaming pile of CR@P.

I’d venture to surmise NBC has a literal library of detailed editorial safeguards, policies within policies. And has had those in place for at least a score of years.

What total hooie!

If not to mislead, then what WAS the motive behind editing the call?

I believe him. I also believe the edits and camera angles in the early Palin interviews were completely unbiased. And I believe in the Easter Bunny - who just hopped through my home.
