Oh its not a big deal as far as to the core of what happened my thoughts dont change on that. its just what they are accused of doing it adds an uneccesary element to the public discourse..
To be honest, I thought they did it to save time in their broadcast. Didn't know they did it to portray a certain image.
From what i read it seemed like they edited out the dispatchers question on whether the Trayvon was black or white.. and then carried Zimmermans response as if it was a statement. Again not a huge deal in the grand scale of things but its a small big thing..
I don't see the controversy here. From day one every news channel here has played the part of the operator asking if the person was white, black or latino. What kind of news yall been watching? And its only natural for the operator to ask so they have a description of the "suspect" before arriving on the scene.
You have to admit that it's completely dishonest for a news agency to edit a 911 call for broadcast. I can accept that shit in reality tv shows but if the news does it that means they're trying to manipulate you by forming a salacious narrative. With a story like this there's no need for that since the story was actually picked up by the news because of public interest.
