NBC alters audio in Tryavon Martin shooting:
On Today, an edited segment about the Trayvon Martin case, producers aired a clip of the phone call that deleted the dispatcher's question, "Was he black, white, or Hispanic?"
Other news sources called out NBC's "error" as a dangerous, perhaps-intentional inaccuracy: Creating the illusion that Zimmerman brought up Martin's race unprompted—and directly after stating that he seemed to be "up to no good"
NBC rigs truck to explode for newscast:
NBC set out yesterday to close the book on its "Dateline NBC" debacle with a blizzard of high-minded statements, three firings, a demotion and the creation of a task force to avoid similar mistakes.
But sources at NBC News wondered whether top network management understood how deep the news division's problems ran and how they led to the rigged test-crash of a General Motors Corp. pickup during a November broadcast.
"Understand us clearly," NBC President and CEO Bob Wright said in a statement. "On the night of Nov. 17, 1992, a piece of bad journalism went out over our air. It reflected neither our character nor our intent. . . . It must not happen again."
An investigation commissioned by NBC laid the blame on three "Dateline" producers, who were forced to resign over the weekend: Jeff Diamond, former executive producer; David Rummel, a senior producer; and Robert Read.
This "fake news" happens all the time in so called "mainstream" outlets. I remember when the first "assault gun" ban was being pushed, CNN was presenting their views on it while showing video of a FULL AUTO weapon being fired…lying without saying a word.
So where was the governmental outrage when this was happening? Why no suggestion that only "approved news" be allowed presentation?
Fuck the pukeling media, they can go to hell.
We have a 1st Amendment, so the discussion is fucking OVER.
