NBC Probe: Deceitful Zimmerman Editor Identified

An internal NBC News probe has determined a "seasoned" producer was to blame for a misleading clip of a 911 call that the network broadcast during its coverage of the Trayvon Martin shooting, according to two sources at the network.

NBC News brass interviewed more than half a dozen staffers during its investigation of the misleadingly edited 911 call placed by George Zimmerman just before he shot the unarmed Florida teenager, said the sources, one of whom is an executive at the network.

The clip aired on the network's flagship "Today" morning show last week.

The edit made it appear that Zimmerman immediately told police that Martin was black, when, in fact, the full tape reveals that the neighborhood watch captain only did so when responding to a question posed by a dispatcher.

There was no clear indication on Thursday of what, if any, disciplinary actions would be taken against the producer or other staff involved in the incident.

  1. I assume that they will apologize and publish this on every major news outlet every hour for the next two weeks so that people will know that what they believe is not true. So that the people will know that the media "created" evidence in order to create racial tension. Every media outlet that carried the "doctored" recording should do the same.

    It would be the right thing for them to do.

    Not holding my breath.
