Of course, the easiest game is "what if the roles were reversed".

Suppose Fox News airs a story about President Obama's religion and a close personal friend of Obama's is being quoted. What if "Everyone thinks he is a Muslim, but I know for a fact. He is not, in any way, a Muslim" became "Everyone thinks he is a Muslim, But I know for a fact. He is not, in any way, a Muslim".

Now let's see the media uproar if Fox says it was unintentional editing for the sake of a time slot.

If it was not deliberate then no one should have been fired. Time constraints? They could have saved more time by not showing a picture of 12 year old Trayvon. The president of nbc should be fired for lying.

The mainstream press simply does NOT know how to write this story without applying their template of lies and deceit. Now that the facts are coming to light and the lies and deceit are being exposed, they are running to the shadows like the roaches they are. It won’t work because no amount of apologies will cover up the fact that NBC, ABC, CNN, etc. have lied and twisted the facts intentionally. George Zimmerman (and his lawyers) will be a wealthy men (if Zimmerman’s not murdered by one of Holder’s “people”).

That so called un intentional mistake has resulted in a Florida guy getting His head hammered in, murder in Tulsa and has fanned the flames of hate, breathing life into Sharpton, Jackson, and Farakan.

I think they are clicking wine glasses over there and planning on a hot summer and fall. No mistake.

Liberals pushing a Marxist agenda to race bait via an edited taps, which got the blacks in a tizzy.

Zimmerman, who will not be convicted, should sue for a cool billion dollars.

Tell Immelt to pay his fair share.

Well Steve, if it was so damned “innocent” of a “mistake”, then why aren’t you releasing this poor misfortuned person’s name? Huh?

And if was just an innocent mistake, why ruin his career by firing him?

Do they not have disciplinary actions for innocent mistakes, other than ending someones career by firing them? Did he have previous disciplinary actions?

If not, why fire him it it was such an innocent mistake?

NBC didn't hesitate to plaster Zimmerman's name all over their articles.

Why not the name of the individual who did the editing?

Perhaps it was done because of raciest hate?

” has undertaken rigorous efforts to formalize the editorial safeguards in place at the network.”

Shouldn’t a credible news organization have editorial safeguards formalized from the get-go?

According to NBC, the controversial clip, which appeared during its "Today" morning news show, was edited deliberately by the producer to fit within time constraints and not for some other reason.

Then why fire such an innocent person and destroy their career?

NBC has a larger problem...they unleashed Sharpton, allowing him to cover his own hate, on his own show.

This breaks new ground. Never before in broadcasting history has a network allowed a commentator to use his program as a propaganda site...to cover himself, making propaganda.

Will NBC let this stand?

“If not, why fire him it it was such an innocent mistake? “

Here’s hoping that they didn’t pay off this person sufficiently, or somehow they get dragged into the coming lawsuit so we can get them on the witness stand and get at the truth of the matter.

From an insider: “The original version they were planning was the following but they couldn’t find all the words on the tape to splice together, so they went for a simpler, more subtle version. They were planning to hire a lefty special effects studio to computer generate the missing words but time was running short. They didn’t want another network or Huffington or Politico to beat them to it.”

Zim: “It’s another one of those damn black guys looking around to buy drugs, break into a home, or rape a white woman or white Hispanic woman or a Hispanic white woman or a Hispanic woman in that order. I’m going to shoot his ass the first chance I get.”

The dispatcher says, “You don’t need to to that.”

Zim: “F that! That black Negro is dead when I see him!”
