George Zimmerman Suing NBC Over Edited 911 Tape

George Zimmerman to Sue NBC For Doctored Tape

George Zimmerman appears before Circuit Judge Kenneth R. Lester Jr. Friday, April 20, 2012, during a bond hearing in Sanford, Fla. (AP)

Florida neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman will imminently put NBC News on notice — legally — that doctoring tapes inaccurately has consequences.

Back when the news first broke that Zimmerman shot unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin, one of the main bits of evidence that anti-Zimmerman commentators used to condemn the accused was the tape of Zimmerman’s 911 call leading up to the shooting.

Usually, they would point to one line in particular: “This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.”

There’s just one problem: that line, as it was played, didn’t exist. The call had been doctored by NBC News staffers — who were subsequently fired — seemingly to make Zimmerman sound racist.

This is what was actually said:

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 β€” is he black, white or Hispanic?

Zimmerman: He looks black.

The edit failed to include the key question that put Zimmerman’s mention of Martin’s race in context.

Now, the New York PostΒ reports that Zimmerman is suing NBC for this apparent attempt to malign him using doctored tapes:

Trayvon Martin shooterΒ George ZimmermanΒ is suing NBC over the network’s botched editing of his 911 tape, Page Six can exclusively reveal.

We hear Zimmerman’s attorneys are about to file a complaint against NBC and its top executives, naming news presidentΒ Steve CapusΒ and correspondentΒ Ron Allen, who was the reporter on the scene for the broadcast on β€œToday” on March 27. He also remained the reporter for the story on β€œNBC Nightly News.”

A source tells us, β€œThe suit will be filed imminently against NBC and its news executives. The network’s legal department has put everybody in the news department involved with this incident on notice, telling them not to comment.”

Zimmerman’s suit has yet to be filed, and it is unclear that what NBC did will meet the standards for defamation of character, or any similar offense. Moreover, the results of this legal challenge will likely depend on the results of Zimmerman’s own trial for the shooting of Trayvon Martin. Nevertheless,Β those who have watched NBC (and its sister network MSNBC) seem to slide further and further away from objective journalism will no doubt see this particular incident as a form of legal vindication.

    What I hope, is he doesn’t accept an out of court offer on the condition he can never speak about it.

    That just might yank the rest of the lame stream media back to honest objectivity.

      SWAMP_DONKEY, So, you like a very few others here have already tried and convicted Mr Zimmerman, eh? Obviously, nobody else can have an opinion, or in my belief, is to wait for the trial to end. The odd thing is that each and every time information from the case is released to the public, it just keeps turning to the favor of Zimmerman’s story, that he was attacked and defended himself. Apparently, you are one of those trolls who had his brain scrambled by this altered tape. Then, you lazily play the race card instead of dealing with what we know so far are the facts in the case. But, I will say, that we the public do not know everything yet. That is what that trial thingy is all about.

      Now, when is he going to sue ABC for the video they claimed showed no injuries?

      And how about the Black Panthers for threatening to kill him and cause him to be the object of a possible assassination by violent blacks?

      And, how about the crooked judge, Lester, who claimed Zimmerman was ready to run as an excuse to raise his bond to a million dollars, in spite of the fact that expecting a man to flee who is innocent and has such a strong case to prove his innocence is blatant kangaroo court politics.

      And the brutish, manish-looking Angela Corey who overcharged him with 2nd degree murder SOLELY to keep the black mobs from rioting?

      And there are many more culpable in this case.

      He has a better chance for monetary judgements than Richard Jewel had and Jewel collected from many biased news orgs who falsely reported on the story involving him.

      It’s time for the liberal geeks to pay for their lies and crimes.

      Had a white guy been wearing a hoody prowling a planned urban development at night in the rain and was shot by someone trying to keep crime down in the area you’d have had no complaint. Actually you’d still find a reason to complain about white people.

      “No one knows what happened. I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.

      The facts are unequivocal. The disgusting black thug blind-sided Zimmerman with a sucker punch, jumped on top of him, then proceeded to beat his head against the concrete, afrer which he punched him MMA style A witness verifies this as does other known evidence, includng he 911 call, plus injuries.

      “However, no matter what it is absurd to use the term β€œblack man” why does his color matter?”

      What an assinine question. It is blacks who make an issue aways of race. Always.

      The issue was raised as a racial incident by black hate-mongers. Black crybaby whining started immediately, yet you have the gall to ask whites why race matters? Even after the Black Panthers said they were going to kill all honkies, and pink people and their blond-haired, blue-eyed babies?”

      And you’re asking why race is mentioned?

      Zimmerman was charged in this case for legitimate self-defense strictly to keep the black mobs from rioting. That’s the ONLY reason.

      Really? So you saw this happen? I doubt he walked up and just hit him. Is it possible? Yes, but Zimms story doesn’t make much sense. They were both probably talking smack to each other one thing led to another and a fight began. I don’t doubt at all he hit Zimms, that part makes sense from his wounds. However, I do think Zimms started it, not meaning for it to end the way it did. He was eager to prevent crime and protect his family since there had been burglaries in his area, and I don’t blame him for that. However, he was so eager that I think he made some mistakes which led to the altercation.

      This is why we are all held back, because of an attitude of β€œblacks always make an issue out of race” and people seeing each other as black and white. The point of my statement was it shouldn’t matter what color someone is. If Zimms is wrong then he’s wrong, if Treyvon was wrong then so be it. I don’t care about color and until we stop labeling ourselves and others as black and white we will stay stuck in this ignorant and absurd mindset of β€œus-verses them.”

      I have no doubt there were black people who made this into a race issue. I also agree that a big part of this case was due to political correctness, which let me say, I’m not nor have I ever been someone who was politically correct. In fact, when Dr. Phil had Zimms best friend on his show (not sure if you saw that) I was infuriated how Dr. Phil slanted the show and w

      “I don’t care about color and until we stop labeling ourselves and others as black and white we will stay stuck in this ignorant and absurd mindset of β€œus-verses them.”

      Don’t be so absurd.

      Of course you care about color. Race dominates your thinking from the time you get up until you go to bed. It’s probably all you ever think about.

      There’s a one-sided racial war occurring in this country and it has carried on now for many years. Blacks are taught to hate whites and blame them for all their failures, even though it is themselves that is to blame for their lack of success, nobody else.

      Blacks have the lowest average group I.Q. of all the races on earth. Poor, oppressed immigrants come to this country, some of whom can’t speak the language when they get here, but all of them outperform blacks. We don’t hear them complain about being “held back by the white man.”

      Black on white crimes have reached epidemic proportions. Here’s just a few of them: http://www.wnd.com/author/cflaherty/

      You’re pretending that your interest is in a color blind society, which I’m sure is bogus. If you were really interested in changing the dialogue in this country to refect and absence of racial rhetoric you’re appealing to the wrong people, because it isn’t whites that are promoting racist dialogue it is blacks in every community throughout the entire country.

      @INDEPENDENT

      You’re reading my mind now? I don’t really care if you believe me or not. I’ve always held the belief we are all created in the image of God and are equal. Trying to tell me I think about color all day long says more about you than me.

      I think you’re missing my point. I don’t care who started it, or who is waging a war, etc. The only person you can control is yourself. The only person I can control is myself. Not ALL black people are taught to hate whites.

      Actually it’s ethnicity, since we are all one race. But so what?? Having a lower I.Q. doesn’t make someone less of a person (not that I think you’re saying that).

      This is something I think that needs to be openly discussed, how there are black people out there that feel white people owe them something for racism in the past and thus have a hate towards them. Of course this exists, but there some white people don’t help by having an attitude of β€œget over it and stop being stupid.” While we all need to move past.. the past, pointing fingers doesn’t do that. Neither does holding it in.

      What do think my agenda is? That we all live with hate in our hearts and be racist? No, everyone needs to openly talk about it peacefully. The pointing fingers needs to stop and those on both sides who are contributing to the β€˜us-verses them’ mindset need to own it, stop, and put away childish things of the past.

      What you can’t seem to understand is that the problem exists within the black communities nationwide and their anti-white hatred is getting worse.

      You’re coming on this board trying to convince whites we should all come together for discussion when it has been made impossible, because blacks in general want no discussion.

      If you are sincere in wanting dialogue between the races you need to go where the problem is greatest, which is every single black community in the country, but you aren’t doing that. You’re coming to a site where there’s a vast majority of white people wanting them to be nice, friendly and have a dialogue on race, when it isn’t whites who are causing the escalation in racial violence and hate but blacks.

      To solve a problem you first need to go to the people who are causing it with their hate and violence, not the people who are the victims.

      See, this what I’m trying to get across, the problem isn’t ONLY in the black community. Again, there is finger pointing. Not that I want anyone to take blame for something they haven’t done.

      I’m not trying to convince any certain group of something, I’m speaking to everyone. Well, if that’s the case then all you can do is your best and keep treating everyone with love and having the right attitude.

      Listen, I talk to everybody, I don’t go on here (which I’ve been visiting the Blaze since it first started) or anywhere else and pick on one group. You can’t blame all blacks. This is why I’m saying this, if β€œus white people” have that attitude it only hurts. Even if we as white people were victims 100% of the time, which we aren’t, it doesn’t mean we should start saying β€œwell THEY need to be fixed cuz they are the problem” It doesn’t matter if it’s true, the point is it’s not helping when you say that. Please don’t misunderstand what I’m saying…I’m not saying we should pretend anyone is perfect or we should take blame when we shouldn’t.

      “See, this what I’m trying to get across, the problem isn’t ONLY in the black community. Again, there is finger pointing. Not that I want anyone to take blame for something they haven’t done.:

      What you’re trying to get across is very obvious. It isn’t difficult to understand. But your premise is sorely lacking in sophistication. You’re coming across as childish and immature. Surely you’re not so naive as to expect you can convert everyone’s thinking to what appeals to you.

      It is as I said. If you want to create a dialogue you must go to those who have created and are perpetuating the problem, not the people who are being victimized by a group of people whose racism and hate multiplies each and every year. They get worse, not better.

      You must go to the twitter conversation between blacks and interject you feelings there, because they’re out-of-control with their racist threats and comments. Most of them sound worse than the Black Panthers who want to kill honkies and their blond-hair, blue-eyed babies. It does no good to come on here and try to get us to quit referring to a black thug as a black thug, since obviously that’s what he is.

      I’m sorry but you’re not sohpisticated enough to try to fool many people on here as to your alleged humanitarian motives.

      Those questions were answered in the above posts if you had the reading comprehension to understand them. Only a child would try to appeal to victims to solve a problem not of their making. Thinking you can solve the problem with black, unintelligent spin is the height of naivete.

      Expecting everyone to get along is childish and moronic when you have a black faction that doesn’t give a rag about getting along, especially since you make it plain you are in no way going to appeal to the black faction. You want to concentrate on those who have no control over the hostility, animosity and violence from the black sector.

      ” Wanting to come to a place where we stop referring to each other as β€œthat black guy” and β€œthat white guy”

      “You naively expect us to believe it is we who need to drop referring to race, while the other side lives, breathes, and nourishes itself on racial hate.” That’s not only childish it’s stupid.

      Almost every black in this country is consumed with nothing but race and places the importance of their own racial group over and above everything else, including their fellow countrymen and what might be best for the country.

    It’s about time that someone stood up against the weapon that become main stream media. NBC’s attack on Zimmerman could very well turn into a major part of Zimmerman’s defense as it can also be proven that because of NBC’s coverage, and allowing its airwaves to be used as an execution trail by Sharpton and Jackson, Zimmerman’s chances of any fair trial had been poisoned through direct attacks and character assasination. NBC should not only pay dearly, but with the subsequent proof of additional doctoring of video and audio, they should also have any official accredation of journalism be removed, and be forbidden by the FCC to call their commentary “news”. They should be required to air a disclaimer at every airing on both NBC Nightly “News” and hourly on MSNBC that all discussions are Opinions and not to be taken as fact or actual news.

    Hopefully, the suit will be for a sum large enough that it forces serious managerial changes at least, deep-sixes them at best.

    The actions by NBC are directly responsible for riot damage orchestrated by Sharpton and Jackson, and for many white people all around the country that have been killed and beaten in the name of Trevon. In my opinion once this lawsuit is filed the Judge should shut down NBC temporarily until case is settled. If it is determined Zimmerman has been harmed then NBC needs to be shut down permantly by the Judge.

      I posted the city should sue NBC, add in other cases, like you mentioned, should sue as well. Lying has consequences, and these were serious ones.

    “Moreover, the results of this legal challenge will likely depend on the results of Zimmerman’s own trial for the shooting of Trayvon Martin.”

    Why? Did NBC doctor and/or misrepresent the facts of the case? Then they should be liable! The fact is,their statements & representation of this case shaped oppinion of the actual facts not yet presented to everyone, therefore, they should be liable for what they report… it defamed Mr. Zimmerman… period.

    Even if he were guilty, which seems very unlikely, what NBC did was clearly WRONG and they should pay for the damage they caused, and pay BIG. There has to be consequences for such actions.

    Good luck White Hispanic. You were NBC’s little Beeoch for 6 months for the sole and solitary reason to distract Obama’s ineptitude, incompetence, and impotence. Romeny = Humble Class Obama = Empty Chair / Empty Suit Liar.

      They’re already morally bankrupt, might as well do it financially. I was wondering what was taking him so long. NBC should make a quick settlement, because it is quite obviously malicious libel and slander with the express purpose of hurting Mr Zimmerman, and enriching themselves.
