Why isnt this news?

NBC edits Zimmerman's 911 call to make him sound racist. NBC "News" is trying to stir the pot on purpose. I guess the part about the 911 operator asking Zimmerman what the race of the person he was calling about didnt fit the narrative so NBC "News" just deleted it. This kind of "journalism"  is criminal and these "journalists" should be held responsible for thier negligence.
It seems that the mainstream media wishes to supress any information that doesnt support thier assertions that Zimmerman is a racist.

yeah, the dispatcher needs to know race, clothing and anything else to help the responding cop.

  This is all about Obama trying to "fire up his base; same as the recent "war on women" cammpaign trumped up over a promiscuous college student.  He continually demonizes "the 1%" as well as "big oil"....but his lies are wearing thin.
  Early on he tried to demonize the "bitter clingers"..but somebody must have told him that gun owners and Christians are not normally in his camp (except for a few confused ones)..while he already OWNS the antis..
    There is no gain for him demonizing bthe "bitter Clingers", so he doesn't push that anymore.
 
  At first, he had dreams of destroying the 2nd amendment..but then with Obamacare, it suddenly dawned on him he might be able destroy the whole constitution in one fell swoop.  Let's hope the SCOTUS is smarter than he is..at least 5 of them anyway !

IG, are you saying there are people who claim to be Christian gun owners who are actually obama SUPPORTERS???

I think the 'news media' likes a good story, and esp. one that fits their favored narrative. Race is always a good story, and this one fit a narrative.


It is news, this think Lakota refers to - check this out:

things don't fit the easy narrative as often as the simplistic or the ideologues would like. Blacks don't commit all the crimes (but quite a few), white gun owners don't all itch to shoot black people (though some do) and not all Christians who are gunowners, are Birthers (though there's a bunch who are)

LAKOTA. They changed the whole thing and slanted it against Zimmerman. Pot stirrers and liars. POWDERMAN.
