NBC News has fired the producer it says was responsible for creating the deceptive audio recording of George Zimmerman communicating with a 9-1-1 operator, according to the New York Times.

The network is still refusing to release the name of the producer, although according to Times reporter Brian Stelter, the producer is based in Miami and has worked there for a number of years. According to Stelter's network sources, NBC is still insisting the deceptive edit was not done deliberatiely. The network has refused to say how exactly someone could accidentally have edited the tape to make Zimmerman appear to be racially motivated:

Good. Public outrage and exposure led to this. I'm glad they didn't try to defend and let it slide.

Agree, very glad they didn't defend and try to hide it.

If it's truly a mistake I think it's awful they would fire him especially when they said they wouldn't. FOlks just don't have any backbone anymore.

They just got caught this time. Like Icarus flying too close to the sun, the MSM gets a little too enamored with their power to shape public opinion, and ends up being careless. In this case they forgot about citizen media!

To think that NO ONE on the Today show that day knew about the full 9/11 tape is a joke.

When can we expect Spike Lee to tweet that producer's name and address?
