There are lies, there are damn lies and then there is media

The media frenzy over this Martin/Zimmerman incident and the abject idiocy and intentional bias of those in congress and in the public eye is appalling. Everyone of them are guilty of lies and damn lies and worse. As the commentator Brent Bozell says, they are intentionally advancing a falsehood, They told and outright lie. 

They did it and they are doing it intentionally. It is literally a conspiracy of media in this country to make this into a racial incident for the benefit of inciting violence. The Mainstream media are one and all guilty of inciting violence in this incident and once it does explode and people are killed, I hope the majority of Americans understand why it happened and who was responsible. 


NBC to do ‘internal investigation’ on Zimmerman segment

NBC told this blog today that it would investigate its handling of a piece on the “Today” show that ham-handedly abridged the conversation between George Zimmerman and a dispatcher in the moments before the death of Trayvon Martin. A statement from NBC:
“We have launched an internal investigation into the editorial process surrounding this particular story.”
Great news right there. As exposed by Fox News and media watchdog site NewsBusters, the “Today” segment took this approach to a key part of the dispatcher call:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.
Here’s how the actual conversation went down:
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 black, white or Hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black.
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.
