"NBC to do ‘internal investigation’ on Zimmerman segment."
As exposed by Fox News and media watchdog site NewsBusters, the “Today” segment took this approach to a key part of the dispatcher call:
Here’s how the actual conversation went down:
The difference between what “Today” put on its air and the actual tape? Complete: In the “Today” version, Zimmerman volunteered that this person “looks black,” a sequence of events that would more readily paint Zimmerman as a racial profiler. In reality’s version, Zimmerman simply answered a question about the race of the person whom he was reporting to the police. Nothing prejudicial at all in responding to such an inquiry."
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.

Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black.
