From JFK To George Zimmerman - And Response
The Chattanoogan ^ | April 7, 2012 | Doug Jones

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.

(Art.) I hope when this is all over George Zimmerman owns Rockefeller Center.

Author Doug Jones has a point. When a hard-pressed rancher called in Ranch Rescue to help with illegals overrunning his property (having exhausted other avenues of help, LE standing by with folded arms), RR included in their posse a lout named Nethercutt who proceeded to whack a wet Mexican on the head with his pistole.

Southern Poverty Law Center showed up doing loudspeaker barratry, soliciting far and wide among the illegals for anyone who had had contact with Ranch Rescue and had any kind of problem or complaint with them. The illegal with the bump on his head came forward, SPLC and Morris Dees sued the rancher and Nethercutt, and eventually the illegal alien received the whole ranch as "damages".

Nethercutt went to prison.

So they said that JFK was killed by a right wing group at first? Didn’t know that (before my time). Funny how the narrative has been the same for so long.

Not only is NBC cherry bombing it like you said, but they have made it all but impossible for this ‘300 lb semi-racist guy’ from ever getting a fair trial.

If NBC and the race baiters were really cared about getting justice for the ‘12yr old child’ then they wouldn’t be tainting jury pools with their outrageous one-sided reporting.

Where are they going to find an unbiased jury with scant knowledge of this case? And yeah I hope Zimmerman gets a ‘Jewel’ heist out of all these media mongers.
