Breitbart is MORE reliable than the MSM and that's been proved over and over.

Neighbor defends George ZimmermanUpdated: Friday, 30 Mar 2012, 10:33 PM EDT Published : Friday, 30 Mar 2012, 10:33 PM EDT TAMPA - One of George Zimmerman's neighbors is speaking out, saying looks can be deceiving. Despite booking video from the Sanford Police Department that many say shows George Zimmerman largely unscathed from his encounter with Trayvon Martin, the neighbor said he saw Zimmerman with obvious injuries. The neighbor is talking for the first time about what he saw on George Zimmerman's face less than 24-hours after Zimmerman shot and killed Trayvon Martin. "I saw George. He was banged up. His head had two big bandages, that weren't flat, had a bump on them," the neighbor, who did not want to be identified, said. He described where the injuries were. "I seen him have a big bandage on his nose and his nose swollen. On the side, where his eyes were at, it was swollen," he said. He points out exactly where on a picture. "I seen the bandage right here, and this side of his nose and this side of his nose was swollen. The surveillance video was released by Sanford police of Zimmerman when he was brought in for questioning after the shooting. Bruises and bandages aren't visible, but you can see an officer looking at the back of his head. "Once you get into a fight you don't show bruises that day, it shows the next day," he said. The neighbor says Zimmerman had to have acted in self-defense. "I think something happened that night where he had to defend himself," the neighbor said. He says that the voice heard screaming on the 911 call is that of George Zimmerman. "I hear his voice every single day, I talk to him every single day," he said. He says the case has haunted him. "I've been thinking about it morning noon and night ever since I seen the bandages on him," he said. He believes Zimmerman was defending his life, and that's why he's defending Zimmerman now. He says he doesn't believe race played a role in what happened. "I don't think race is involved at all, because I've seen black, African-American folks come to George's house," he said. The neighbor says he's tired of Zimmerman being portrayed as the bad guy. "Everyone needs to let the justice system take its course before rushing to judgment,"

NBC is doing an internal investigation over its editing of the Zimmerman 911 call. NBC told this blog today that it would investigate its handling of a piece on the “Today” show that ham-handedly abridged the conversation between George Zimmerman and a dispatcher in the moments before the death of Trayvon Martin. A statement from NBC: “We have launched an internal investigation into the editorial process surrounding this particular story.” As a reminder, here's NBC's version: Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black. And here's the actual portion of the 911 call: Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. Or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about. Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic? Zimmerman: He looks black. (emphasis added) It's not obvious at all what they were doing here, is it? Nope, just cutting out some irrelevant filler. I've seen a couple of stories where they've referred to the call as being "selectively edited". That phrase doesn't really mean anything, because the process of editing is, by its very nature, "selective". What they really meant was that the call was deceptively edited. And it was. While we're on the topic of vocabulary words, another one to pay attention to in this case will be "whitewash". It'll come in very handy after NBC's internal investigation determines that this was an honest mistake made by a low-level staffer who has been suspended for two weeks without pay. Webster's defines "whitewash" as "[exoneration] by means of a perfunctory investigation or through biased presentation of data", which is right in the NBC news organization's wheelhouse. There's no word yet from the AP or NYT stylebook editors as to whether it will be referred to as "white hispanic wash" in this case, though. We'll keep you posted. I find this all terribly shocking, because NBC has never done anything like this before. http://ace.mu.nu/archives/328021.php NBC Admits It Rigged Crash, Settles GM Suit February 10, 1993 articles.latimes.com
