Does The ‘NBC Editor’ Really Exist? (NBC caught in another lie about the "fired producer"?)

Daily- and Instapudit are on about Breitbart’s post concerning the fired NBC editor. Back at Breitbart:

The questions are only just beginning on Editgate. The release of the news of the firing just before the holiday weekend smacks of a cover-up; more than that, we know that the edit itself was not restricted to the Today show. Brian Williams and the brass at NBC News must provide answers. They are responsible for editorial output, not an unnamed producer. And they must be held responsible for an irresponsible and dangerous edit apparently deliberately designed to twist the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman story along racial lines.

NBC really loves them some voodoo editing.

Given their utter lack of forthrightness, both in pushing the initial lie about what Zimmerman said, and now the firing of this un-named editor, we really should ask: does this NBC jackwagon exist, or is NBC just stacking subterfuge upon misdirection?

And, even if this alleged jackwagon is produced, is he going to be fired fired, or just given the Full Imus? By that I mean, sent on what amounts to an extended vacation, and then brought back. In other words, how will the fundamental corruption of NBC be addressed? The good news is that NBC’s perfidy has been exposed short of further tragedy. The bad news is that NBC is bad news.

“OK, and this (producer)... Is he white, black, or Hispanic?”

It might have been a case where “everyone” was responsible-and therefore, no one was responsible.

Nonetheless, your legal point is well-taken. But it might be wise to put that individual on a really short leash until the incident/lawsuit danger blows over and you can dump him/her/them.

NBC has lied before and 9 to 1 they are lying now. This so-called “editor” is a figment of NBC’s imagination. [Question: is this fired employee an “editor” or a “producer”. NBC seems to use the terms interchangeably and I am not certain that is the case.]

You spoke to some folks who know this guy, didn’t you?

[MindBender26]

Didn’t know him personally. I’ve been “off the net” for about 10 years, although I still get called back occasionally It’s like being a retired officer. You can be recalled “at the pleasure of the President.”

Worked the last Shuttle accident, the Obama-ACORN story here in FL, etc.

BTW, O-3 is a little late to get involved with Spec Opns. Remember, Spec Opns is a “culture,” more than it is a Branch.

Want to have some real fun? See if you can get secundered to the Israelis for 6-12 months. It will make you a legend, plus they will let you go to their airborne school, a ceremony at Masada, etc.

They will probably just throw another intern to the wolves.

Check out the article in post#27..Kaus makes some very interesting points. Zimmerman may be getting good advice ( his dad sounds very smart) to think two steps ahead...the criminal case, or not...will take a while to unfold...and he will have NO trouble getting superb defense attys..and a possible BIG civil case against NBC is likely in the offing...
