First we saw ABC backing away and admitting the manipulative use of pictures for Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman.  Then NBC ran for the exits with their admission of “manipulative editing” of the 911 call from George Zimmerman.  Then in another admission ABC reversed their position on the stolen video tapes which they now admit showed an injury to the head of Zimmerman.
Now it’s CNN’s turn.   After previously running a segment highlighting a section of the 911 call with their audio team claiming the audio clearly showed George Zimmerman saying “fucking coons”.  They now bring a more seasoned expert in who cleans up the background noise clutter and show the audio is actually Zimmerman saying “fucking cold”.


On the night in question it was unseasonably cold in Florida, and the audio clearly reflects a totally different narrative than previously stated.

Does anyone else get the sense the “legal teams” within these media organizations are getting just a little bit jumpy about their exposure to Libel?
Again, let me just repeat.   Since the original event occurred, and George Zimmerman gave his 5 hour unrepresented statement to law enforcement; and did an on scene re-enactment the following day, not a single piece of information has contradicted his assertions.  Nothing.
Nothing even remotely divergent from the original statements given by George Zimmerman surrounding the event or encounter has been discovered or evidenced.
On the contrary, almost every possible point of contention represented by the family of Trayvon Martin, and the media, has been summarily deconstructed and shown to be factually incorrect.   The initial narrative sold by the media included:

      • Zimmerman was white – Proven false
      • Zimmerman was racist – Proven false
      • Zimmerman was not injured – Proven false
      • Zimmerman did not get medical care on scene – Proven false
      • Zimmerman used bigoted and racist descriptive – Proven false
      • Zimmerman arbitrarily labeled the suspicious person as black in the call – Proven false
      • Zimmerman was on Watch Patrol – Proven false
      • Zimmerman shot Trayvon twice – Proven false
      • Zimmerman outweighed Trayvon by 100 lbs – Proven false
      • Zimmerman was never questioned, or interrogated, by police – Proven false
      • Zimmerman was never taken into custody – Proven false
