Actually,
It is worthy of far more than an investigation into WHO did that and why.

It is worthy of legal recourse, the shameless RACE card portraying this man out to be nothing more than someone who is a racist and sees nothing but a meean old black person.

Clo,
since you were ready to hang this man without a trial or knowing ANY facts, believing blindly all the CRAP from your left wing radical places you listen to,
HOW YOU FEEL about the REAL call now?

How about Mr. Martin's less than exemplary recent history with the drug thing? How about your good buddy Spike Lee having to fork over millions to the OLD PEOPLE whose address he rushed to put out to the public so their lives could be turned upside down?

Yes sir, some real class there by that ;left wing party of compassion you so passionatley serve and bow down to.

I told you not to rush to judgment. I told you to wait till the real facts get revealed. SO did Ribit and Belding and DGP.

But you kept typing away all the CRAP you could find to convict this man ZImmerman and now all you KIND SWEET leftists have a MANHUNT out for him to murder him on site, courtesy of the Black Panthers.

You should feel really good about yourself.

YOU my dear, are part of the PROBLEM in this country today.

It is okay to differ politically. but what YOU and every other SOCIALIST out there like NBC painted Zimmerman as some kind of racist murderer, affected the lives of an innocent old couple who had to flea their home and hide, and condemned a man who may well just have had to defend himself the only way he could while being in a scuffle with a much younger and likely stronger male.

Congratulations on being wrong again.

NBC to do ‘internal investigation’ on Zimmerman segment
By Erik Wemple
The Washington Post
Posted at 04:40 PM ET, 03/31/2012


NBC told this blog today that it would investigate its handling of a piece on the “Today” show that ham-handedly abridged the conversation between George Zimmerman and a dispatcher in the moments before the death of Trayvon Martin. A statement from NBC:

“We have launched an internal investigation into the editorial process surrounding this particular story.”

Great news right there [You bet it is ... launching an internal investigation is the closest thing you'll ever get to an overt admission by NBC that this was a totally unethical hatchet job. B.]. As exposed by Fox News and media watchdog site NewsBusters, the “Today” segment took this approach to a key part of the dispatcher call:

Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.

Here’s how the actual conversation went down:

Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. Or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.

Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic?

Zimmerman: He looks black.

The difference between what “Today” put on its air and the actual tape? Complete: In the “Today” version, Zimmerman volunteered that this person “looks black,” a sequence of events that would more readily paint Zimmerman as a racial profiler. In reality’s version, Zimmerman simply answered a question about the race of the person whom he was reporting to the police. Nothing prejudicial at all in responding to such an inquiry.

In an appearance on Fox News’s “Hannity,” Brent Bozell, president of the conservative Media Research Center, called this elision on the part of ”Today” an “all-out falsehood” — not just a distortion or misrepresentation.

And it’s a falsehood with repercussions. Much of the public discussion over the past week has settled on how conflicting facts and interpretations call into question whether Zimmerman acted justifiably or criminally. That’s a process that’ll continue. But one set of facts is ironclad, and that’s the back-and-forth between Zimmerman and the dispatcher. To portray that exchange in a way that wrongs Zimmerman is high editorial malpractice well worthy of the investigation that NBC is now mounting.
