Katie Couric Regrets ‘Poor Decision’ to Insert Pause in Gun Documentary Interview
The WRAP ^ | May 26, 2016 | Beatrice Verhoeven

Posted on 05/26/2016 5:55:56 PM PDT by McGruff

Katie Couric is upset that an eight-second pause inserted into an interview she did with gun rights activists in the documentary “Under the Gun” has drawn criticism, calling the edit an “unnecessary mistake,” according to an individual with knowledge of her thinking.

The individual spoke to TheWrap and said that director Stephanie Soechtig inserted the pause, which critics are calling an example of “deceptive” and “appalling journalism.”

“This was an unnecessary mistake,” the individual told TheWrap. “It did not represent editing someone’s sentences, there was no factual error, this is not a mistake that is a substantive mistake. It could have been avoided,” he said, adding: “This was a poor decision that was made and it involves silence.”

Inconvenient after Rush played it full center court and slapped NBC on the ass as well.

Couric is a lying slut from hell who knows no other recourse than the dirty communist masters that pay her.

It wasn't a Documentary, it was a Mockumentary.

Katie Goebbels Couric strikes again.

Hey if the facts don’t fit your agenda, then just alter the video to fit it, right Katie?

And to think these maggots call themselves “journalists”... Ha!

“calling the edit an “unnecessary mistake,”

Are there necessary mistakes?

I was thinking: “Dan Rather, Dan Rather, are you advising Katie?”

This was an unnecessary mistake

It was unnecessary alright, but it wasn't a mistake. It was done deliberately to distort the truth. Not unusual for left-wing media, unfortunately.

“unnecessary mistake”? Because that’s the mistake you actually got caught at, right Katie? I suppose all the other “mistakes” were actually QUITE necessary, though.

Editing is the invisible art - there’s a reason film editors are given awards.

There’ll be no award for this production, I’m guessing...

There’s a lamp post somewhere with her name on it. And a rope to match.

So let’s try some unnecessary editing ourselves

Start with video ofSaggy sitting in front of the camera about to go live.

Insert a closeup of D.F.U. asking saggy why she spent so much time on peodophile island.

Cut back to Saggy sitting, staring into the camera saying nothing for 8 seconds, fade to second video of saggy getting up and walking away after recording a segment earlier.

FUKC!

Because they thought they would get away with it.

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!

And they actually thought the participants would lay down for it?

Just amazing audacity.

Malicious, brazen, slanted, incompetent journalism.

It's worthy only of the state mouthpieces of Tyrannical regimes...

What the h*ll is an “unnecessary mistake”???

Interesting how the pause occurred at just the precise moment to make the round table members look bad.

I rarely watch network news because of these “necessary mistakes” that seem to occur with increasing frequency.

I’m convinced that a Sienfeld episode was inspired by Couric’s self absorption. I’d love to see a side by side of the Elaine dance/ the Couric dance Incident. There’s little difference in the two film clips.
