Editgate refers to the various errors made by the media during the coverage of the shooting of Trayvon Martin in February 2012. The most notable of these was the editing done by NBC News of a 911 phone call by George Zimmerman to the local police. In this call, NBC edited out part of the conversation in a manner that made it appear the Zimmerman was being racist. The edited conversation was played on NBC's Today Show and by local stations. It was also made available on MSNBC. On the recording played by NBC, Zimmerman was edited to say, "This guy looks like he's up to no good. He looks black."
