NBC aired an altered copy of a 911 call from Zimmerman. The alteration makes it look like Zimmermann had racist motivations.
NBC's altered version makes it sond like Zimmerman said:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he's up to no good. He looks black.
But here is the full, unedited conversation that took place in the 911 call:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he's up to no good. Or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about.
Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black.
Who is the more racially motivated here? Zimmerman or NBC?
I still think that Zimmerman was a damned fool for carrying a gun on a Neighborhood Watch tour. But the more facts that come out about what actually happened, the more this looks like a deliberate attempt by various news outlets, to smear Zimmerman as a racist murderer when in fact he was nothing of the kind.
How do these NBC people sleep at night after pulling something like this?
