Jeff Burnside, the investigative reporter who was fired several months ago from NBC owned WTVJ, has landed a job with Seattle’s KOMO.

WTVJ fired Burnside for placing an edited version of George Zimmerman‘s 911 call in his story about the Trayvon Martin case. Martin was the 17-year-old who was shot while walking through a gated community near Orlando. George Zimmerman faces second-degree murder charges in the case.

Burnside is now the Seattle ABC affiliate’s senior investigative reporter.

So there you go...reporting an apparent un-truth still gets rewarded in the liberal media. Guy is now the "senior investigative reporter".

The shame is that there are probably some good, truthful journalists out there...and they're not getting jobs.

And I thought KOMO couldn’t get any worse than the current “Problem Solvers” bunch of investigative reporters they already employ.

He will fit right in with their pre-existing condition....manufacturing news stories out of chopped up, spliced, and faked outrage.
