Judge Reaches Decision In Katie
Couric Anti-Gun Documentary Debacle
By Beth Baumann. June 1st, 2017
Back in September, Katie Couric was facing defamation charges for her anti-gun documentary, Under the Gun. The documentary was cut in a way that made the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) look as though they were unsure of their answers to Couric's questions.
The lawsuit arose from one particular part of the documentary, where Couric poses the following question:
"If there are no background checks how do you prevent -- I know you all are going to answer this, but I'm asking anyway -- if there are no background checks for gun purchasers, how do you prevent felons or terrorists from walking into say a licensed gun dealer and purchasing a gun?"
Her attorneys attempted to have the case thrown out but the lawsuit stuck.
A judge finally ruled in the case and found there were no harmful implications resulting in the editing.
....... 
So - Couric is off the hook apparently. That is surprising and disappointing too, because the majority of gun owners most certainly felt that the devious editing made for a false rendition of the interview. As always much is in the eye of the beholder, but comparing the edited version with the original, it had seemed that there was an effort to subvert the actual intent of the interviewed individuals. The "Under The Gun" presentation does demonstrate how selective editing can greatly alter impressions, detrementally.
