What about civil suits going the other way - like GZ suing whatever tv stations that redacted key elements of the 911 call to make him out to be a big racist?
It's possible. Richard Jewell had some success in that, but the cost of litigating against major corporations can be prohibitive. Usually, those suits end in settlements, with non-disclosure agreements being part of the arrangement.

Given the publicity, politics, and rancor, it's hard to clear one's name after a situation like this.
