Zimmerman lawyer to move ‘asap’ against NBC News
Washington Post ^ | July 14, 2013 | Erik Wemple

Posted on 07/14/2013 2:09:27 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

Last night’s not-guilty verdict in the George Zimmerman trial will enable the neighborhood-watch volunteer to resume his case against NBC News for the mis-editing of his widely distributed call to police. Back in December, Zimmerman sued NBC Universal Media for defamation over the botched editing, which depicted him as a hardened racial profiler.

BTW, how much do YOU think NBC will end up paying Zimmerman?
*******************************************************************
To REALLY get their attention and to minimize the chances of them engaging in Agendanista warfare against an American citizen in the future, it SHOULD BE about three times NBC’s annual News Division gross revenue (not profits, but gross revenue). And if I would be on the jury and could influence other jurors it would be that high if we had the leeway.

But it will not likely be this high as true justice would require. It will probably be in the millions (or perhaps in the low tens of millions).

"NBC Universal Media responded to the Zimmerman complaint by noting that other media outlets played up the racial angle of Zimmerman’s deadly encounter with Trayvon Martin."

If so, the "other media outlets" have defamed him. They should be identified and the defamation documented.

NBC should settle before monday donuts & coffee if they know what’s good for them.

I don’t think one apology is enough. I say they be forced to run an ad every hour for a month admitting to deliberately smearing Zimmerman to make this a racial incident. Were I Zimmerman, I would insist on it as part of the settlement
Ten million isn’t enough. Martin’s parents are going to demand half, if not all of it. They already sued the condo complex.
Of course Zimmerman will be suing the state of Florida also.

This was one of the worst aspects of the case. NBC is (was) a respected news source and they used their power (not to report but) to advance a false narrative. I think the White House has its tentacles into this organization...just like they do the IRS. It’s real third-world stuff in my opinion. In any case, several million dollars should be extracted from NBC and paid to GZ for all the suffering they caused him and his familty. I’m sure GZ isn’t proud of what he had to do....maybe even regrets a decision or two..., but no man, deserves treatment like this from a National News Media Source.

The 5-10 million should be predicated on both NBC and CNN staffs being fired.

No, no, firing them would be NBC and CNN putting this episode behind them. Leave them on staff so that FOX, FR et al, can have pinatas to bash on a continuing basis. It would be the gift that keeps on giving.

Consider this floating in the punch bowl.

Zimmerman settles with NBC for $6 mil and then donates half to the UNCF.

Another homerun! NBC should be FORCED to move into the black communities and apologize for causing the racial strife. In person.

The jury ruled that Zimmerman’s action were LAWFUL. That means ZERO dollars from GZ to the Martin family.

Martin’s parents won’t be getting anything from Z. If they try Z will invoke the civil immunity for self-defense that Florida law allows.

For me, the destruction of the NBC brand caused by a prolonged trial would be far greater than the money.

I keep hearing that Zimm was accused of being a "racist" as if that was a crime. When did being a "racist", whatever that is, become a crime?

Is this a new "thoughtcrime" or is it a "speechcrime" to utter the "n word"? While we are on the subject, citizen, when is the latest Newspeak dictionary coming out? I can hardly wait.

I’m with everyone here. That wasn’t botched, it was intentional. I hope he gets millions.

I would say the full liquidiation of Comcast assets.
If a company goes to maliciously destroy a person’s life, then that company should be destroyed.

The media tried to frame G. Zimmerman, and not just NBC. ABC and Matt Gutman lied about the injuries. The media did their best to get protests going, but the turnout was puny. Nancy Grace must’ve unraveled when the verdict was announced.

Some no name female "news reader" , after the verdict, said Zimmerman was acquitted of murder--not the charge of, but the the MURDER of Treyvon. Think it was Fox and Friends this morning or whatever takes its place on Sunday. It wasn't Martha or anyone I know. I could name the number of news readers with 2 intact brain cells to think with on my fingers--maybe just one hand. The rest are clueless, Pavlovian slobs who drool and jump thru hoops on command.
