Audio Shows Katie Couric Documentary Deceptively Edited Interview with Pro-Gun Activists Film's director: 'I never intended to make anyone look bad' http://freebeacon.com/issues/audio-shows-katie-couric-gun-documentary-deceptively-edited-interview-pro-gun-activists/ The makers of a new Katie Couric documentary on gun violence deceptively edited an interview between Couric and a group of gun rights activists in an apparent attempt to embarrass the activists, an audio recording of the full interview shows. The documentary then shows the activists sitting silently for nine awkward seconds, unable to provide an answer. It then cuts to the next scene. The moment can be watched here: However, raw audio of the interview between Katie Couric and the activists provided to the Washington Free Beacon shows the scene was deceptively edited. Instead of silence, Couric’s question is met immediately with answers from the activists. A back and forth between a number of the league’s members and Couric over the issue of background checks proceeds for more than four minutes after the original question is asked. |

Couric’s ‘Under the Gun’ Producers May Have Broken the Law http://newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/geoffrey-dickens/2016/06/03/courics-under-gun-producers-may-have-broken-law First it was deceptive edits and now it looks like Katie Couric’s producers for “Under the Gun” may have broken gun laws. According to The Federalist’s Sean Davis it appears Couric’s director Stephanie Soechtig admitted to violating federal law. On Friday, Davis reported: “It turns out that Couric’s production team deliberately conspired to violate federal gun laws. According to video obtained by Ammoland, a shooting sports news website, one of Couric’s producers deliberately committed at least four separate felonies by purchasing four separate firearms across state lines without a background check. |

This is a blatant ethical violation. Couric apparently knew about it and says she raised concerns over it and was told it was for dramatic effect. Because she knew about it, she should be suspended and/or demoted. There is no excuse for allowing this unethical behavior even if she didn't do the editing. She knew and hence was complicit. Anyone involved in the actual edit should be flat out fired. Completely inexcusable abuse of both the sources and the viewers. Reprehensible on every level. |
