(Reuters) - NBC News' decision to air an edited call from George Zimmerman to police in the moments before he shot Trayvon Martin was "a mistake and not a deliberate act to misrepresent the phone call," according the president of network's news division.
The edit in question, which aired on the network's flagship "Today" morning show last week, made it appear that Zimmerman told police that Martin was black without being prompted, when, in fact, the full tape reveals that the neighborhood watch captain only did so when responding to a question posed by a dispatcher.
Under growing public pressure to explain the incident, NBC News President Steve Capus provided Reuters with the fullest explanation to date of how the edited call made it on air and what the network is doing to prevent such a consequential error from happening again.

Sure. I’ll believe that when I see some flying pigs.
Yeah, I do that too.
Whenever I utter a bald-faced slanderous lie that has the possibility of inciting a race riot that will result in the death of dozens of innocent people, it's always a mistake on my part and never deliberate.
But that's just me...
Bravo Sierra!!!
Oh. Ok, no prob. It wasn’t deliberate.
But, you do understand that the only other possible explanation is that you’re so pathetically inept you have no business reporting news. Right?
Dan Rather + Steve Capus = birds of a feather.
If it wasn’t deliberate then why did they fire the poor Orson-Welles-to-be?
NBC Law Department speaks. Sue them anyway!
You make mistakes in math or something like that. This was deliberate! And if it was a mistake then why fire the producer?
Think about how tens of thousands of excerpts from articles are copied and pasted here selectively. I haven’t seen once where someone accidentally edited to create such a false impression from the original.
They’re saying “uh, we accidentally cut out the he’s black part right after the he’s up to no good part. And it just coincides with the racist angle we’ve been trying to peddle.”
Remember folks- as late as 5- 10 years ago the media still might have gotten away with this and gotten a pulitzer for it
they do nt like coming under scrutiny
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!
And don’t let them continue to act like Romney is the winner already- they did that with McLame after he (finally) won one state, and that is how we ended up with him getting saddled on us
BROKERED CONVENTION!!
The National Enquirer has more journalistic integrity and honesty than NBC.
Damn, make one mistake and get fired. I guess it didn’t fit the Nobama plan. (To many peeps might figure us out if we move to fast)

Bite me..
You jumped on the Race Bandwagon with both feet.
LOL.
Yeah right. Oh well, they had to say it.
But only a pure fool would believe them.

Assuming most of us are as stupid as he is is a fatal mistake.
