You take a strange view on this. In your hair splitting world, NBC lied by virtue of some of it's employees, who were subsequently fired for their actions, that without sanctioning chose to alter information from it's original form. By that same process to determine guilt, the US Army is responsible for the Ft. Hood shootings. * It was the Army’s fault: see below. In a country that personal responsibility is expected from all, you chose to ignore that and assign a collective guilt similar to that embraced by nazi war criminals. They tried to claim they were just following orders and thus there is no individual blame, The American take is that individuals are responsible for their own actions. NBC discovers a story is inaccurate, fires those responsible, and removes the incorrect information from their website. There is no attempt at a cover-up. Individual responsibility has been enforced. What other steps should a responsible news outlet take to address this issue? Are all these steps performed by fox to correct a similar mistake? This is not proof of NBC irresponsibility. It is proof of a conscious effort to do the right thing to correct a mistake. This proves something else. No news organization is immune to criticism or being called out for giving misleading/incorrect information to the public. The CBS fake Bush records are another example. Because catching another news network with their pants down is one of the things these guys live for. The OP is an observation by a media savvy group on the pros and cons of maximum distribution through the various networks. It's not a factual conclusion which network is better than another.

*Ft. Hood suspect was Army dilemma His extreme views possibly overlooked in favor of diversity
By Bryan Bender Globe Staff / February 22, 2010
WASHINGTON -
Army superiors were warned about the radicalization of Major Nidal Malik Hasan years before he allegedly massacred 13 soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, but did not act in part because they valued the rare diversity of having a Muslim psychiatrist, military investigators wrote in previously undisclosed reports. http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2010/02/22/ft_hood_suspect_was_army_dilem ma/
*Political correctness on Fort Hood at Pentagon
Debra J. Saunders Tuesday, January 26, 2010
the biggest lesson from Fort Hood should be that a "culture of political correctness" kept concerned officers from reporting Hasan. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/01/25/EDV91BN8CP.DTL#ixzz1tvR4VbuB

The problem with the Zimmerman case (and what that has to do with the thread anyone knows) is that NBC is saying a "mistake" was made. Oops! I made a sllight mistake which wasn't intentional. Three people have been fired for an unintentional mistake. Think about that and respond. An innocent mistake cost three people their jobs. Of course you have to accept the fiction that it was an "innocent mistake" and an intentional altering
