Critics say the "Today" show attempted to incite racial anger when it cut crucial seconds from audio of a phone call placed by George Zimmerman just before he killed the teenager.
In Interview With Piers Morgan, George Zimmerman's NBC News is being excoriated in some circles – with competitor Fox News Channel leading the charge – for selectively editing audio of the 911 call placed by George Zimmerman just before he killed Trayvon Martin.
The NBC segment in question featured anchor Ron Allen and ran on the Today show on Tuesday. On Thursday, Sean Hannity and guest Brent Bozell played the NBC version of the 911 call and compared it with the unedited version.
In the NBC segment, Zimmerman says: “This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.”
The full version, though, unfolds like this:
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.”
911 operator: “Okay. And this guy, is he white black or Hispanic?”
Zimmerman: “He looks black.”
After playing both versions, Hannity said: “They forgot the dispatcher’s question! How could NBC, in good conscience, do that?”
“This isn’t bias, this isn’t distortion, this is an all-out falsehood by NBC News,” answers Bozell, who runs a conservative watchdog group called the Media Research Center.

NBC: Nothing But Communism.
NBC’s editing was pure race baiting propaganda, looking to start a race war.
Zimmerman should sue NBC for all its worth.
The same network that put incendiary devices on GM pickup Trucks to show them exploding on impact.
This is simply par for the course, to my mind.
NLZ, within 5 years, probably sooner, expect the Gangster Government Media to simply hire actors and make up ‘911 calls’ outright.
One of my biggest fears... On this, I hope you're wrong.
The Hoodie Tea-and-Skittles crowd are going to get what they ask for........people will no longer call the cops first.....then it’ll be just dead bodies layin around....
and plenty of folks have been waiting a long time to give em what they ask for. Oh well.
