George Zimmerman sues NBC for editing 911 audio to make him sound racist
We haven’t heard much about George Zimmerman since the media’s instant narrative — “This guy is a trigger-happy racist who chased down and shot an innocent teenager for being black” — completely fell apart. Now that the howling for his blood has calmed down, he’s looking for some payback.
Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman is suing NBC over the network’s botched editing of his 911 tape, Page Six can exclusively reveal. We hear Zimmerman’s attorneys are about to file a complaint against NBC and its top executives, naming news president Steve Capus and correspondent Ron Allen, who was the reporter on the scene for the broadcast on “Today” on March 27. He also remained the reporter for the story on “NBC Nightly News.” A source tells us, “The suit will be filed imminently against NBC and its news executives. The network’s legal department has put everybody in the news department involved with this incident on notice, telling them not to comment.” NBC launched an internal probe after producers misleadingly edited the 911 call placed by Zimmerman just before he shot the unarmed Florida teenager. The edit made it appear that Zimmerman had immediately told police that Martin was black, when the full tape reveals the neighborhood watch captain only did so when responding to a question posed by a dispatcher.
As a reminder, here’s what NBC did to the 911 audio, followed by the unedited tape:

Zimmerman sure needs the money since 0bama sicked the NBPP and every black street thug in America on him.

Suing N.B.C or M.S.N.B.C.is just like suing Obama and the Democratic party because M.S.N.B.C.is a propaganda,misinformation operation that takes their orders from Obama and the Democratic party

Go George. Make ComCast bleed from their ass. As soon as I read this I pictured Dr. Evil as the foreman of the jury standing up and with his pinky at the corner of his mouth announcing punative damages of “One Billion Dollars!”

I have a dream – That when George Zimmerman owns a majority of NBC/GE stock, he brings light bulb manufacturing BACK to the USA!

What would make my day would be to read where all charges were dropped.
Can you see Al and Jesse and their army of race-baiters?
