He dang sure does have a case! NBC.....in-bed with the BO administration and apparently the hateful, inciteful Sharpton and Jackson.

I so cherish free speech, but this editing the tape NBC did to make Zimmer sound racist was not free speech, it was a crime in some way....libelous or slanderous. Charge NBC with a crime?
I'm sure you have the evidence that the Obama administration, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton conspired with NBC to take this action, right?

Feel free to post it, or a link to it.

The media will be complicit in Zimmerman walking away a free man should there ever be a trial. The jury pool is beyond corrupted. They'll have to move the trial to Dutch Harbor, Alaska if they want to find 12 people who haven't read, seen, or heard the lies put forth by NBC and others.

I'm surprised anyone is even shocked given how badly the news organizations have jacked up various hot-ticket news stories in the past.

Olympics bombing (many news organizations wound up settling with RJ), Duke Lacrosse scandal....sloppy sloppy journalism with everyone in a rush and then apologize later in this digital age.

How can he sue for defermation? They didn't accuse him of being racists. If that was the case, all of the news organizations including Fox should have been sued time and time again.

Show me concrete evidence, because I'm more inclined to believe that Zimmerman got off because of his dad's connections not because Zimmerman, the DA, and the PD are all racist.
I believe you as far as the latter, but you cannot refute what he said to the dispatcher either. Personally, i believe that DA connections with zimmerman's father and the obstruction of justice by the police dept for whatever reason just made it worst

All this does is continue to cloud, an already muddy pool of water. Doesn't PROVE anything.
Actually, who's yelling help is important. It's one of the few things being discussed that is important, because it's at least circumstantial evidence as to who was being hit, threatened, near to being shot.

TM's tooth, skittles, gz's not following watch rules, why'd he have a gun, mean absolutely nothing.

Oh it matters, and a lot, BUT...yes I do get your point. It doesn't matter within the context of whether Zimmerman provoked the young man to hit him and then shot him. THAT--I am very open-minded to being a likelihood IF...we are getting some truth on this situation and it's sounding like we may be.

It matters a lot that NBC, a national news organization that way, too many liberals respect and listen to, DID THIS!! They altered/edited a news piece to make Zimmerman sound racist. SO...

if race riots ensue should NBC be charged for being complicit if folks die in the riots, and lose their very livelihoods/businesses?!

Don't waste your time. Look at the post about how since the prosecutor is a "Republican" that Zimmerman will surely walk. ALL Republicans are racist, didn't you know that?

How? What comment has NBC made that violated Zimmerman's rights?

Whoa, back that thought up there, sir. They did WORSE than accuse him.

They, in reality edited his phonecall to make him INTO a RACIST.

This truth is undeniable.
