The media is in on it: NBC edited 911 call to make Zimmerman appear racists, ABC CBS also air inciteful* coverage

We have been telling you for years that the media is owned by the banksters, who own Barak Obama and the Democrat party, and the leaders of the Republican party, and academia, and Hollywood.

This follows a report that ABC news tried to imply that Zimmerman’s story of a struggle wasn’t true and that he was uninjured, “didn’t have blood on him’ when he appeared on video at the police station for questioning'. Of course EMS had already treated him and cleaned the blood off at the scene of the struggle.

NBC to do ‘internal investigation’ on Zimmerman segment

By Erik Wemple

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. 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 in the 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.

  1. Now they are saying through"Voice experts" the the screams foe help is coming from a "child" not Zimmerman, thereby having the conclusion that it was in fact Martin who was screaming. I would like to know who those experts were???and why is the media not talking about the 6 police officers that were white, killed by African Americans this past year, where is our media taking us??? Why are not more Americans waking up, How are people that are protesting allowing themselves to get co-opted?Is there not enough anger in this nation today??
