Good. I hope he wins a fortune. The MSM was instrumental in shaping, directing and it now appears, even manufacturing the news.
I was in Florida on an unrelated matter for a good part of this mess and while the facts of the case were awful enough, the media was instrumental in spreading a message of poison that inflamed and made everything so much worse than it already was.
I hope Zimmerman's lawyers get rich off NBC.
Good for him! I hope he lets it go to jury as well!
I guess that's why you did not include a clip of what Obama REALLY said.

Obama says his son would look like Trayvon
President Obama said today the nation needs to do some "soul searching" over the shooting death of unarmed African-American teenager Trayvon Martin in Florida.
When can Trayvon's parents start suing Rush, Fox and the rest of the right-wingers for portraying their son as a drug-addicted founding member of the Crips & Bloods?
It's embarrassing, really. Obama's consoling Sandra Fluke, commenting on the Professor Gates arrest, and commenting that Martin could've been his own son are a trio of embarrassing things for the President of the nation to have gotten involved in.
The Martin comment was just a really stupid thing to say. I mean Caylee Anthony could've been his daughter too, right? Where were his touching comments about that? I thought we were supposed not judge on skin color. It was a transparent case of the leader of the nation hamming it up for the media and should've been beneath the dignity of anybody occupying the office.
It's time to stop embarrassing yourself. Sorry, but Obama expressly refused to judge based on skin color in this, and other incidents. And yes, the Cambridge police did act stupidly when they arrested Prof Gates for yelling at them after they verged into his home, and yes, Zimmerman chasing after and shooting Martin was a tragedy. And yes, republicans acted like idiots when they raged against Sandra Fluke. All of the above we're perfectly reasonable for the president to respond to, and I'm glad that we have one that responds reasonably to obvious foolishness.
Nitpicking. I don't care what the exact words were that the foolish idiot uttered. The meaning was the same. He is a fool and so are those who believe what he says.
Are you are incapable of discerning reality? You must listen to all of the words he actually spoke, not the manipulated media release version. You've been deceived.

Too bad a lot of people just listened to the words Z-man spoke and missed a few of the dispatcher's words.
I hope NBC loses, and on a massive level, so that other news agencies will think twice about creating news instead of reporting it.
Wouldn't that put Fox News out of business?
After all, I wonder how many times they played their chopped up version of Obama's speech wherein he said "you have a business...you didn't build that".
Leaving out everything he said between those phrases.
Yep, I agree. News programs should be more responsible. Except, I forgot...Fox News admitted they are providing 'entertainment', not news...

PRESIDENT OBAMA only had a comment about Martin because he was ASKED about the case by a reporter.
We don't know if this was a malicious intent to make him look guilty or if the poor editing was unintentional. In any case, it has no effect whatsoever on his case. We were discussing the shooting for months before I knew anything about the edited version of the 911 call. It was only on "The Today Show" which I've never watched in my life.
Most of America knew about the edited verson right after it happened. Unintended consequences doesn't absolve them.
It's no surprise, though, that a few people here failed to grasp what was widely reported as a massive fail by NBC.

Maybe no one ASKED him about Caylee.
So he's a babbling fool. God help us. Where are his answers about Benghazi? If a white person said Trayon looked like 0bamas son, the racist accusations would fly.
When President Nixon commented about Manson, there was talk of a mistrial. Obviously, 0bama doesn't have a clue about when to keep his flapping gums shut.
