CNN, 'most trusted name in news' walks back its racist language claim v Zimmerman

.
4/5/12, "Zimmerman Said 'Cold' Not 'Co*n'; Most Trusted Name in News Backpedals," Breitbart, Big Journalism, John Nolte

"Shorter CNN to George Zimmerman:

Gee, George, sorry we pretty much declared you a racist in front of all of America before having all the facts, but Obama's all-in on this one and we're all-in for Obama and since you're a registered Democrat, we think you'll understand.

XXXOOO"

It certainly sounds like that word to me,” Gary Tuckman said when the audio was first enhanced. But after the latest enhancement, he’s not so sure:

Now it does sound less like that racial slur. … From listening in this room, and this is a state-of-the-art room, it doesn’t sound like that slur anymore. It sounds like … we‘re hearing the swear word at first and then the word ’cold.’ And the reason some say that would be relevant, is because it was unseasonably cold in Florida that night and raining.”

The audio expert agreed it sounded like “cold,” and said the new method gets rid of a lot more background noise but doesn’t change the voice or words.

Watch the segment below (link), which includes the initial audio enhancement and the new one."...
