NBC has fired the producer responsible for the edited Zimmerman 911 call.
What Zimmerman did was deplorable. It did not need to be altered to make it more so. Given the edit, it's hard to believe it was accidental. It was damaging, and could actually backfire and gain sympathy for Zimmerman being a victim of the press (and the likes of Roseanne Barr).
Truth should speak for itself. In this case it's loud and clear who was in the right. It's shameful for the press to alter information for ratings. Normally, I am not a fan of sacrificing an employee to show remorse, but it was their job to know that call and the facts inside and out.
Now, let's get back to doing what we can to take care of the real underlying issues here.
