[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 957107, member: 1246"] It was NBC that did it.......here's what they did. "the “Today” segment took this approach to a key part of the dispatcher call: [INDENT]Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.[/INDENT]Here’s how the actual conversation went down: [INDENT]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. [/INDENT][INDENT]Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic?[/INDENT][INDENT]Zimmerman: He looks black. [/INDENT]The difference between what “Today” put on its air and the actual tape? Complete: In the “Today” version, Zimmerman volunteered that this person “looks black,” a sequence of events that would more readily paint Zimmerman as a racial profiler. In reality’s version, Zimmerman simply answered a question about the race of the person whom he was reporting to the police. Nothing prejudicial at all in responding to such an inquiry. In an appearance on Fox News’s “Hannity,” Brent Bozell, president of the conservative Media Research Center, called this elision on the part of ”Today” an “all-out falsehood” — not just a distortion or misrepresentation." I won't search NBC's site. I'll freeze into a pillar like Lot's wife if I cast my eyes on Mat Lauer! [/QUOTE]
