ABC & NBC altering Zimmerman reporting ?.
So there is buzz out there that NBC altered the ZImmerman 911 tape (which changes the tone/racism slant) and ABC altered the video of Zimmerman getting out of the police car.
When you add the bounty by the New Black Panthers, Spike Lee and Rosanne's comments, slanted/distroded news reports - how is this not interfereing with a proper police investigation and pursuit of justice?

I'm gonna have to ask you to not abbreviate "conservative" despite the accuracy of the abbreviation.

I am going to need for you to find out the blood alchohol level of this fool up here!! LOL!!
"How is this not interfereing with a proper police investigation and pursuit of justice?"
Because no matter what the police see on tv, I expect them to be professional enough to investigate based on the facts of the case, not media reports. If they watched CSI or Law and Order last night would you then expect them to all assume they can solve the crime in 42 minutes or less?
Well I would imagine that the justice department is not relying on Spike Lee or NBC for their facts.
Aside from that, yes NBC edited the 911 call. CNN pointed it out this weekend actually. They edited out the 911 operator asking Zimmerman to describe what the suspicious person looked like, if he was white, black, Latino, etc., and Zimmerman responded he was black. NBC just had Zimmerman saying "He's black" without including the question he was responding to.
Definitely unprofessional on NBC's part, but I don't think this "proves" anything about how he's not really a racist. CNN did an unbiased analyses on Zimmerman's 911 calls, and just within the last two years there were something like 6 calls to report suspicious looking black men, and only one call to report a white male, and that call was at the request of someone in the neighborhood.
Add that to the rule-book
This is amazing.
Who "me?"
In my lame defense I was being earnest. I'm all flowers and sunshine lately.
You know, this situation is already horrible with the straight-forward facts. It's a little more than unprofessional to edit 911 tapes to try and make this even worse.

Un huh! My crazy FB friend uses Free Republic All.The.Time.
Crap. I got all serious there for a second. Let's change that.
NBC can be otherwise awesome:

All kidding aside, I knew about NBC, but I'm not finding anything credible about ABC.
I'm not holding my breath, but sisugal, do you have a source?
thank you Blue Ivy, thank you!
WAIT WAIT WAIT! Sisugal is freeper? OMG. I never thought that one of them walked among us.
Wait - was it regular Roseanne or was it Roseanne's hologram serving as the "Guide to the World of Facts". Because if was the hologram - I can see how that might interfere with the police investigation.
