The author of this article has stated that he wants it widely shared, which is why I am not excerpting it. It is an extremely powerful, well done article, by a participant in the original event.

As the audio and video clips do not reproduce on freerepublic, I have added links to them in the article source.

You might want to visit the source, as an acknowledgement of the effort involved.

This was on Fox MediaBuzz. According to them, she was given the trailer and she approved of it because “the producer did it”.

Basically, she needs to go back to the Today show because she is now discredited as a journalist. One of the oldest tricks in the spin book and not used often anymore because it is so easy to catch.

Thousands, perhaps even millions, trust Katie Couric because she’s supposed to be a renowned journalist, and she used that trust to sell all of those people a convenient fiction.

There's a reason that Couric makes $7500 an hour, and it's NOT because she's "perky".

They pulled this same crap with Sarah Palin.

You incorrectly spelled journalist. You meant to type it PROPAGANDIST.

My ultra-liberal mother could NOT understand why firearms were so bad. She was born and bred in early Phoenix, Arizona.
There was ALWAYS a rifle on it's rack, loaded, course, in their living room. Lol. When one scratched the surface, she ended up being very conservative:
education, then job, then marriage
marriage, THEN sex, THEN children

After my father passed away my mother, at 55, started two courses:

art: water color and etching When she passed away I had all her 65 pieces of art framed and sent to her family and friends.

law: she did four years of night law school, took the bar exam, passed the first time, hung out her shingle and practice family law from 60-80 years of age.
Folks LIKED her because she had MUCH life experience. She had been a counselor and dean at a minority high school. She didn't make any money at it as the usual deadbeats WANT attorney help...for free.

Katie Couric is not a journalist. She is on the air. And she is a talking head. So she should rightly be referred to as an airhead polemicist.

I heard rush play the tapes . It was a dramatic lie what she dis. He then played the NBC cut and paste on George Zimmerman’s 911 call. It was a total fabrication.( I thought he should have sued for millions) Couric is a “has been” . Totally desperate to make her socialist masters happy. She ,like Dan Rather with his Bush smear will both be remembered as liars.

What is VCDL? I love how the current expectation is that everyone is expected to know what every series of letters stands for. It makes the article really hard to read when you have to keep searching for an explanation.

She needs to be made an abject example of.

Her career needs to be destroyed, so that when “journalists” consider articles about the Second Amendment, gun control, guns, gun safety, or other euphemisms for infringements on our rights, they think “remember what happened to Katie” and tremble in caution.

This is the continuing destruction of the Media Cartel’s control over America. It is long overdue.

Trusting Katie Quacker? Sarah Palin could have told you
from bitter experience.

Thanks for the reminder. The Palin interview was done over weeks, and carefully edited to do the maximum damage.

This is an important example of how Katie Couric “works”. It should be pointed out to anyone who brings up the Palin interview as an example of Palin’s failure.

It wasn’t Palin. No one can withstand the level of deception and backstabbing that she was subject to from people who were supposed to be working for and with her.

Palin could have dragged the McCain campaign over the top, if she had been allowed to.

Look, this was obviously not going to be a fair and balanced presentation of the issues.

That boat left the pier LONG ago. I suggest that anybody/outfit that agrees to a TV interview have their own cameras running, even if it's just an smartphone version.

I further suggest that you just decline, as this instance indicates, you'll never get a fair hearing.

“I further suggest that you just decline, as this instance indicates, you’ll never get a fair hearing.”

VCDL has shown us that accepting, but refusing to be a victim, offers a high risk, but potentially effective way of fighting the “progressive” media cartel.

Look at the effect of this exposure. Likely, Couric’s carreer is ruined. She serves as a warning and example to others. Yahoo now has to work hard to prevent another example from happening. This is as potentially as big as Rathergate. The whole country is being exposed to it, and it shows the entire disarmist movement as based on lies and deception.

Big, big payoff for the risk involved.

The “progressive” left needs to fear us as we have been taught to fear them for the last 50 years.

Then we will have restored “balance”.

And can someone please tell me when the left has been “fair”? A foolish expectation begets a foolish result.

The funny thing is, more people saw Katie exposed as a lying left-wing anti-gun propagandist than ever saw her original propaganda piece.

They are one of, if not *the* best. AZCDL is essentially a spin-off, and it is fantasic.

All state associations of Second Amendment supporters would do well to emulate them, learn their methods, and duplicate their successes.
