So now it appears NBC has fired an "un-named," producer who altered the George Zimmerman 911 call and by doing so inflamed racial tensions in South Florida. Does anyone really believe this is an honest mistake with all of the editorial checks a mainstream news organization like NBC has in place? Is there anyone out there who doesn't think the Mainstream Media doesn't have a political agenda? And oh, how about that vast right wing media that exposed this breach of journalistic integrity? Thirty years ago we would have never known about it.
I remember almost 50 years ago when JFK was assassinated on a Friday afternoon in Dallas. For the next 24 hours all we heard about were all the right wing hate groups in Dallas. Then on Saturday afternoon we find out that Lee Harvey Oswald was of all things, a pro-Castro Marxist. And I remember the Tawana Brawley case where the "Reverend" Al Sharpton tried to inflame racial tensions in upstate New York and later we found out the whole story was a hoax.
I lived in Atlanta in 1996 when we had the Centennial Olympic Park bombing and the media all jumped on the bandwagon to accuse a poor little security guard named Richard Jewell of being the bomber. Later we discovered he was only guilty of trying to warn people of a suspicious package. And I am sure we all remember the Duke lacrosse team case when the media was judge, juror and executioner on the white guys on the lacrosse team. Later, once again, we found out the whole thing was a hoax and the district attorney actually was convicted of abusing his power.
One other fact about the Richard Jewell case. Several media organizations had to pay him an, "undisclosed" sum for their erroneous reporting and one of those was NBC. I hope when this is all over George Zimmerman owns Rockefeller Center.
Today NBC is saying that the story was a mistake and or edited for time constraints.
How can they then have fired the unnamed producer with facing a significant suit?
We will learn in the coming weeks, that the report of the unnamed producer being fired ,was also a mistake or reported as such , or do to time constraints.
Amen!
Yup -- which is why the Democrat run "news" media hates the alternate media.
I remember the Kennedy assassination very well. One thing the author didn’t point out was that even after it was learned that Oswald was a Communist, they still kept blaming it on White Conservative Southerners. They kept at it for years and were able to use it to pass the 68 gun control act.
The media never lets a tragedy go to waste.
They are not just liars, they are what Mark Twain referred to as “damn liars”.
That will give the "un-named" family a black eye forever, won't it.
How long was it before it was revealed that several weeks before Dallas, Oswald tried to assassinate the president of the John Birch Society by firing into the man’s living room??
NBC’s coverup of who did the editing of the tape will end up as badly as Nixon snipping 18 minutes of tape.
NBC only prolongs the story by refusing to name the person responsible.
You forgot the Beltway Sniper. “Disgruntled white racist in a white van”. And they they catch John Muhammad and Lee Malvo in a blue Chevy...
So why did NBC fire this fellow if it was truly an honest mistake?
The Kennedys had general Walker confined to a mental institution purely for political purposes.
Literally what I would have expected of the KGB.
Let's not forget their very learned accomplices, the fair and balanced Duke faculty and administration.
“So now it appears NBC has fired an “un-named,” producer...”
We really don’t know that they’ve actually fired anybody. It could be just BS.
Pointed out on another thread. They should have kept him close. Because he’s fired and has nothing to loose he can expose all or any of NBC’s flaws. Can’t wait to read the book.
” I hope when this is all over George Zimmerman owns Rockefeller Center. “
Should MSM/Sharpton/Jackson/Obama-Holder get their wish, and this progresses to violence, I hope everyone who suffers injury or property damage as a result sues them individually and collectively —

I agree. No way has NBC fired anyone. If they had fired someone, they become vulnerable.

I remember that -- and it went on for months nationwide.
I recall that the NY Times' James "Scotty" Reston a close friend of JFK led the charge against the emerging modern conservative movement's "climate of hate" and violence.
If memory serves me I recall one edition of the Times that had a Reston column railing against the conservatives AND on the same FRONT PAGE of the Times was a news article describing Oswald and his membership in the Fair Play for Cuba organization.. plus his desertion from the Marine Corps and defection to the USSR.
.. and it may have been known at the time that Oswald fired shots at Major General Edwin Walker (recently resigned from the U.S. Army protesting JFK and RFK and a conservative activist.)
I do not remember this at the time but I read later that Walter Cronkite had to apologize to Barry Goldwater for trying to tie Goldwater to the assassination of JFK.
Yes.. the liberals used the lies to great benefit for themselves.. the even managed to get Joe Pyne run off the air. I personally did not know of Pyne in November 1963 but I believe Pyne was on hundreds of radio stations.
I recall Bob Grant telling how he got his start by having to immediately take Pyne's spot on a NY station.
