Fox News analyst: NBC News ‘on the hook’ in Zimmerman lawsuit

Lis Wiehl, a Fox News analyst, said, “That’s absolutely not enough. NBC is on the hook here for a big defamation, intentional infliction with emotional stress lawsuit here. They doctored that tape. It went out there. It started the whole narrative of Zimmerman being this hardened racist, this profiling racist that started everything.”
.
.
Accordingly, NBC will have to pay out a “countless amount of money and probably millions of dollars,” argued Wiehl. All agreed that it would cost big bucks for NBC to make this case go away. That sounds about right.

Judge: DEBRA S. NELSON

Interesting. We know she's friendly to plaintiffs. So now we could learn whether her bias against George Zimmerman was because he was a defendant or another, more sinister, reason.

That said, I'd be looking for a different judge as order of business number one.

I did whatever the situation called for.

Holder will be helpless. This will take several years to reach the court and all of the Obama administration officials will be out of office by then.

ZNBC sounds like a great name for a network!

I am pretty sure they will request another Judge. Let me guess, she just happened to get randomly assigned?

Well, if he wins big that should pay for his 24/7 bodyguards.

NBC is now Comcast, a very corrupt Philadelphia company with deep, deep ties to the Philly Democrat Machine.....Can’t be. Ed Rendell was a star on Comcast. C’mon.

Yes, exactly, that is the point. They can choose a bench viewed as relatively unbiased in favor of a view which does not respect the actual rule of law.

Based on Miss Jeantel's appearance on CNN, it appears that Trayvon may have profiled GZ as an "ass-cracker".

Ask 100 Trayvons if they've ever heard the term, "ass-cracker" and you'll get 100 negative responses.

It's the stupid ass meme of the week, and I wish Freepers would see that. It's just plain foolish.

That may be the case - but the term "ass cracker" as slang for anal sex has been up on Urban Dictionary since 2003.

That may be, but I can guarantee you that Rachel Jeantel never heard it before, and it's not what she meant by 'creepy ass cracker'.

Trust me - I know a lot of Trayvons and Rachel Js, and they don't use the term, 'ass-cracker'.

“Rachel Madcow can be kept to clean the toilets.

Do you honestly think she can ever do any job which doesn’t involve the use of her mouth? “

You are both right.

Keep her to clean the toilets.
