KD in CA Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Oh it's been dead for a long time. Someone was mentioning OJ in another thread. Remember this bit of journalistic integrity by Time Magazine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 A great portion of the media has already convicted Zimmerman. Whether the man is guilty or not, that is not the media's job. NBC did apologize, but I highly doubt that whoever was responsible for this will receive any disciplinary action. The most interesting part from the article to me was this: NBC came under fire after Fox News and others analyzed "before-and-after" versions of the phone call and pointed out that the NBC version, which aired on the "Today" show, edited out a question from the police dispatcher, who specifically asked Mr. Zimmerman to describe the race of the man he considered suspicious. So Fox News is singled out, while other news organizations are referred to as "others". Ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
