Having been in this business for over 35+ years, this was no mistake by the NBC dipstick...

He had enough time to EDIT the words out of the dispatcher's recording...and he did...by his own admission.

Using "time constraints" - even at the National Level, is pure un-adulterated B***S*!T anyway you want to explain it. How many bleeding-heart pieces have we seen where you get every "gurgle" or "...ah...ah...ah..." that some brain-dead spin-meister wants to puke out there as for the reason he/she/it/they/them acted in the way they did? They had more than enough time to allow the ex-Illinois Governor/Current-Inmate Rob Bag'O'Spit blubber his way through how-many interviews and yak-shows?

Get real...Network has enough time to air anything as long as it fits whoever's paying the piper...rats optional...

NBC fired the idiot...but don't worry...NBC has an excellent record of rebounding from some idiot's lunacy...take a look at the now-infamous 1992 version of the "NBC Investigates" episode of the "Chevy Exploder Pickup Truck" - where, after fine and minute detailing...it was found that the Chevy gas tank actually started smoking and exploding 5-frames before the vehicle was actually hit. That's approximately 1/6 of a second. Either that was faked or somehow, nature was reacting contrary to the laws of motion and explosion.

Now, if you're talking about a "live" interview, that might be different, but in this case, tape in hand, time to edit? I don't think so. AAMOF, I know so. All the networks got the dispatcher's tapes. An agenda was being put forth and thankfully, no one managed to start a riot over it...but now, if festers out there like the vermin in the New York sewers...

And, as usual, it's still being put up as Gospel by some, and ridiculed by the rest.

Sometimes, regardless the amount of handling and help, some folks still refuse to see the light or where it comes from...
