NBC fires producer who selectively edited Zimmerman's 911 call

"NBC News has fired a producer following a probe into its broadcasting of a misleading edit of an audio clip of a 911 emergency response call during coverage of the Trayvon Martin shooting, two sources at the network said.
The producer, who was not identified by the sources, is Miami-based. NBC News declined to comment when asked about the dismissal, which the sources said took place on Thursday."

Well yes I agree that the whole ACORN thing did cause some riots, so that's pretty bad. But the Zimmerman thing directly involved a death/murder.
ACORN is defunct (they morphed into something else to get away from the ignorance and hatred of the right) because of the slander and hatred of the right although they have done/did nothing wrong. It's just another way the right destroys America and local communities...

Possible of course, but highly unlikely.
Dateline NBC ran a story about the case right around the time of the Today show piece (sorry I am looking but at this point I have so far been unable to determine which aired first). I know that the Dateline piece aired the 911 calls completely unedited while the Today show's version was of course heavily edited. Given this it appears as though nothing systemic was going on and it was the work of one person, or perhaps a few people, associated strictly with the Today show, which is also the worst show on TV as my thread from last week illustrates.

ACORN never did anything wrong? Odd. No voter registration fines or convictions?
After the videos were released through the fall of 2009, the U.S. Congress voted to freeze federal funding to ACORN.[39] The Census Bureau and the IRS terminated their contract relationships with ACORN.[40][41]
By December 2009, an external investigation of ACORN was published that cleared it of any illegality, while noting that its poor management practices contributed to unprofessional actions by some low-level employees.[42][43][44][45] In March 2010, ACORN announced it would dissolve due to loss of funding from government and especially private sources.[46] On March 1, 2010, the district attorney for Brooklyn found that there was no criminal wrongdoing by the ACORN staff in New York.[6][47] In late March 2010, Clark Hoyt, then public editor for The New York Times, reviewed the videos, the full transcripts and the full audio. Hoyt wrote, "The videos were heavily edited. The sequence of some conversations was changed. Some workers seemed concerned for Giles, one advising her to get legal help. In two cities, Acorn workers called the police. But the most damning words match the transcripts and the audio, and do not seem out of context."[48]
The California Attorney General's Office granted O’Keefe and Giles limited immunity from prosecution in exchange for providing the full, unedited videotapes related to ACORN offices in California.[17] The AG's Report was released on April 1, 2010: it found the videos from ACORN offices in Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Bernardino to have been "severely edited"; it found there was no evidence of criminal conduct on the part of ACORN employees, nor of any evidence that any employee intended to aid or abet criminal conduct. It found that three employees had tried to deflect the couple's plans, told them ACORN could not offer them help on the grounds they wanted, and otherwise dealt with them appropriately. Such context was not reflected in O'Keefe's edited tapes. The AG's Report noted that, because the Giles-O'Keefe criminal plans were a ruse, the ACORN workers could not be complicit in them. It found no evidence of intent by the employees to aid the couple.[17]
The AG's report confirmed that one of the ACORN employees, shown in O'Keefe's video as apparently aiding a human smuggling proposal, had reported his encounter with the couple to a Mexican police detective at the time to thwart their plan. Following the AG's report, that employee, who had been fired by ACORN immediately after the video's release, sued O'Keefe and Giles in 2010. He alleged invasion of privacy, and cited a California law that prohibits recordings without consent of all parties involved.[49]
On June 14, 2010, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) published its report: it found no evidence that ACORN, or any of its related organizations, had mishandled any of the $40 million in federal money which they had received in recent years.[50][51]
From O'Keefe's Wiki page.

No, I'm saying the shit that James O'Keefe tried to pin on ACORN was completely fabricated.
We discussed ACORN's practice of paying its employees by the registration and the fact that a few of its employees were submitting fraudulent registrations to ACORN in attempts to defraud ACORN on this board lots of times.

I don't care that you called him a faggot. I just thought you would have better insults than to lower yourself to the sobukki style of insult. All I know about the ACORN thing is that RWNs hate them and LWNs love them, other than that I could care less.
The only reason I know any about Zimmerman is because of the Outpost. I don't know enough about the Zimmerman case to have a real opinion either way. I know some of you follow it intently.

They are not remotely comparable and you getting all bent out of shape and throwing out offensive language is a sign of desperation.
Distorting the audio when people are already near a riot is exponentially worse than what may or may not have been fabricated against ACORN. ACORN blew up because they were fraudulent. I bet at least 12 states have fines and convictions against ACORN agents.
The fact that you cannot differentiate between the issues is a sure sign you are the problem with your game.

No - you know what it's a sign of? It's a sign that you are on the Outpost.
This thread was sitting here for almost 12 hours with 2 replies. Then I replied, I accept your thanks and say to you good sir, you are welcome.
The fact that my reply got any attention is a sure sign that they are related, more so than your tiny 3 celled brain would like to admit... But whether or not you'd like to openly admit it is moot, your actions have already admitted the obvious.

You regularly call people on posts that have nothing to do with the topic. This thread is about NBC. Acorn and the other nutjob have nothing to do with it - they are not comparable for this thread's relevance. You know, I know it, everyone here who isn't obsessed with homophobic name calling knows it! 8)

Baym tends to spend an inordinate amount of time complaining about name-calling which sometimes cuts into his own busy name-calling schedule.

LOL, I will definitely remember the next time you post about X and someone responds with something related to X and then you bitch and whine that it isn't the same. I probably only have to wait about 10 minutes.

True, I generally don't consider Fox News "mainstream media," especially since they're pretty much the last "news" organization not to condemn O'Keefe's bullshit. That's probably splitting hairs a bit, though.

last night while playing tanks I called someone princess. They were having a /meltdown and calling them princess caused them to launch into a profanity laced tirade that made the only team laugh at him. I couldn't stop laughing. I said something like.. 'Relax princess. It's only a game.

Good point Ash, that and RWN's are always quick to point out that there is no actual news on the FoxNews Channel. It's all just entertainment/comedy shows and an occasional editorial show...

I don't think anyone is saying that they cases are identical. I certainly haven't. There are obviously differences. The point is that there are also similarities which are conveniently ignored, most likely because those doing the ignoring are receptive to the message (regardless of the message's accuracy). There's a word for that...

This crap they are trying to sell it as an accident..... 
They do this stuff all the time. Fox News is one of the most agregious offenders but they all do it. This time some moron did it in the worst way at the worst time. It was VERY misleading. It really pushed the racial angle and led many down the wrong path.
At least now we know that Zimmerman is an armed wanna be who is a menace and danger to everyone out there, not just black people.
