TOP 10 EXCERPTS FROM ZIMMERMAN VS. NBC NEWS COMPLAINT

Breitbart ^ | December 7, 2012 | John Sexton

[Uncle Chip]

On Thursday, George Zimmerman filed suit against NBC News and three NBC producers he accuses of intentionally painting him as a racist. Zimmerman and his attorneys have now done what many in the new media only dream of doing, holding the major media responsible for their biased and misleading output.

The language in the complaint is blunt. It calls NBC's coverage "yellow journalism" and refers to "journalistic crimes." Most broadly, the complaint accuses NBC of trumping up a racism narrative for ratings, with a name check of the Today Show and Rev. Al Sharpton in particular. Here are some of the highlights or, if you prefer, the media's lowlights from the complaint:

1] NBC saw the death of Trayvon Martin not as a tragedy but as an opportunity to increase ratings, and so set about to create the myth that George Zimmerman was a racist and predatory villain. Their goal was simple: keep their viewers alarmed, and thus always watching, by menacing them with a reprehensible series of imaginary and exaggerated racist claims.

2] NBC created this false and defamatory mis-impression using the oldest form of yellow journalism: manipulating Zimmerman's own words, splicing together disparate parts of the recording to create the illusion of statements that Zimmerman never actually made.

3] Defendants pounced on the Zimmerman/Martin matter because they knew this tragedy could be, with proper sensationalizing and manipulation, a racial poweder keg that could result in months, if not years, of topics for their failing news programs, particularly the plummeting ratings for their ailing Today Show.

Wonder if Zero and Holder will put pressure to bail NBC out of this..

substantial compensatory and exemplary damages....................>>>>>>>>>>

Substantial damages : damages that are calculated to place the plaintiff in the same condition as he was prior to the injury, as far as monetary claim can do it. ( This can include the cost of establishing a whole new identity in this case, and can run into the millions of dollars, but will also include the entiore legal expense of defending his case brought on by inflaming the public against a valid case of self defence, damages for mental and physical suffering)This will be a claim of millio0ns of dollars

Exemplary damages: Are also called in some jurisdictions “punitive damages,” designed to punish the defendant so it will deter the plaintiff or any other person from perpetrating such damages on an individual again in the future.This will be a claim in the millions or even in the billion dollar range, since it must be an amount large enough to have an impact on the finances of the defendant.

YOU GO ZIMMERMAN !!!!!!!!

Oh please, let me be on that civil jury.

Nice, tag Al Sharpton as a co-conspirator.>>>>>>

Hell, tag Obama since his comments were personal and not made within the ambit of his presidential duties according to the Constitution, they actually were made in order to remove Zimmermans due process rights.Obama would make a fine defendant.

I would love a knockdown suit from GZ...but NBC will probably settle as they already admitted liability when they canned their staff people over this lie. They are working on a settlement as we speak

“It would take someone with deep pockets to hold out in order to make the corrupt media pay and think twice about their journalistic malpractice.”

The Beasley Law Firm is now in charge. They have very, very deep pockets.

Co-counsel is The Beasley Firm. Some very very deep pockets.

The lying media hardly feel these settlements sad to say.

Well then they aren't big enough and there aren't enough of them.

Let's all sue them for $5 Million per copy, for foisting Obama and the RATs on us.

[Lancey Howard]

Awesome..!
I am naturally delighted that Zimmerman is going after scumbag NBC, but I sure hope this is only the first of many lawsuits. NBC and its spliced audio certainly was the most egregious of the lying Democrat networks, but there was a lot of piling on by the rest.

I hope Zimmerman sues them all into oblivion.

"If I were Zimmermann there wouldn’t be enough money on the planet that would compensate me. I would want to own NBC...become the CEO and own every penny of that socialist organization."

....and then gut the whole, stinking organization like a trout, parting it out like an old Chevy til there's nothing left.....then raze their headquarters, salt the ground, and retire in luxury while former NBC'ers send out resume's by the thousands.

[Ouderkirk]

They need to start any settlement talks at TEN BILLION dollars.

Fixed it

[dragnet2]

Z's nose appears to be twice it's normal size among other wounds.

I'd bet a cup of coffee, when this goes to court, when the scene and autopsy images are revealed, Martin will not have a single wound on his face and the only wound will be from a gun shot.
