George Zimmerman is back in the news, and this time he’s suing NBC for airing a misleading edit of a 911 phone call he made the night of Trayvon Martin‘s death. The edited phone call made it seem like Zimmerman purposefully highlighted the fact that Martin was black, when in fact, he was prompted by the dispatcher to describe Martin’s appearance. NBC launched an internal investigation, profusely apologized, and even fired individuals involved in the editing process, but Zimmerman is still filing a lawsuit against NBC alleging that he was made out to be a “racist and predatory villain” in order to “increase ratings.”
