April 5th – What our media first told us about George Zimmerman: 1) Said to the dispatcher: “This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.” (NBC) 2) Video shows him uninjured (ABC) 3) Used a racial slur (many sources) 4) Paranoid, called 911 46 times in 14 months (NY Times, NPR & others) and 5) Weighs 240 lbs (NY Times) [6) that he {Zimmerman} was white]
Now the latest: 1) NBC admits audio editing 2) ABC says video does show possible injury 3) CNN reports enhanced audio places doubt on racial slur 4) Called 911 46 times but over 8 years not 14 months and 5) Weighs 170 lbs not 240 The good news? The media managed to spell Zimmerman’s name correctly over 50% of the time! [6) he is just as Hispanic as Obama is white, and has black family members/friends]
