Third Employee Fired After Another Edited George Zimmerman 911 Tape Surfaces
And then there were three.
A third NBC employee has been fired from the network after yet another misleadingly edited George Zimmerman 911 tape surfaced from the Trayvon Martin shooting.
Lilia Luciano, a Miami-based correspondent, “is no longer working for the network,” TVNewser reports. Her firing follows the axing of an NBC producer who edited the original 911 call that caused so much controversy as well as a local NBC reporter, Jeff Burnside, who was found to have used a similarly-edited recording.
TVNewser explains what happened with the latest incident:
In a story for the “Today” show on March 20, Luciano used part of the George Zimmerman 911 call in which an entire phrase (italicized below) was taken from a later part of the conversation:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good or on drugs or something. He’s got his hand in his waistband. And he’s a black male.
Dispatcher: Are you following him?
Zimmerman: Yeah.
Dispatcher: Okay, we don’t need you to do that.
But here’s how the call really went:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.
Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he white, black, or Hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black.
NBC has never apologized for the first edited 911 tape that aired on the Todays Show. Now, they have done it again. The media will not let this case rest until they create mass racial chaos in this Country. The victims of these so called "justice for Trayvon" crimes should sue the media and everyone else involved in this case who are calling for or instigating violence against the innocent in this Country
