NBC Caught Altering Interview With Witness to Fit Police Narrative in Long Beach Police Slaying of Student (Updated)
http://photographyisnotacrime.com/2...tive-in-long-beach-police-slaying-of-student/

NBC Los Angeles selectively edited a video interview of a witness to a police shooting to better fit the police narrative about the killing of an unarmed college student last week.

Now friends and family of the victim, Feras Morad, who was shot and killed by Long Beach police on Wednesday, are putting the news station on blast through social media.

Richard Florence, a friend of the slain student who happened to record a video of the video interview between NBC reporter Kate Larsen and witness Bob Garner, posted the video to Facebook with the following commentary:

#CanIGetAWitness NBC chopping up words to make up a conversation that never happened. Ok so I turn the corner and see #NBC interviewing this dude so I film their interview & make sure to catch the 11 o’clock news tonight to compare the two.

EVERYONE PLEASE TWEET #NBC Ask them why they need to make shit up!

Notice how he says Feras is walking towards the officer like this…and does a shuffling motion with his hands up.

Then watch the news version edit add in audio of the womans voice saying, “Towards the…” and the man’s voice from minutes later or earlier saying “he was acting very aggressive yeah”.

NBC is attempting to support the narrative that Feras approached the officer ‘aggressively’ and are editing audio to do so.​

The witness told NBC that Murad was slowly shuffling towards the officer with his hands up, but what NBC aired was that the bloody and injured man was “aggressively” moving towards the officer. The video is posted below. It is not the first time that NBC Los Angeles proved to be a mouthpiece for local police departments.

Will NBC become the new preferred news source for the "conservative" statists?
 
My 6 yr old daughter is in this big "is it real or fake" meaning is a tv show like the Simpsons real or is it a made up story.

Anyways she was telling my wife just today that some stuff is "real" on the news but most of it is fake. Wife called me laughing her arse off!!
 
You know what sucks. In a week 9k people have watched that, but if you get a video of a cat doing something stupid it'll have 20M hits in a couple hours.
