Just a year ago NBC got caught altering a 911 call to make Zimmerman appear racist. However, Zimmerman's libel suit was thrown out by a judge who somehow believed NBC's claim that they didn't mean any malice.
NBC News broadcast of the 911 call:
Zimmerman "This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.”
Actual 911 call:
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.”
I grew up watching Huntley-Brinkley and NBC News but have since switched to Diane Sawyer and ABC. I still watch the Today Show and SNL but I consider the source when they make their comments. On the otherhand, I can't watch Fox News, it's just too obvious they are not 'Fair & Balanced. I guess when it's a major story I end up with CNN for the most part.

BTW, has anyone from the Brown family or friends ever paid the shopkeeper for the box of cigars he stole.
