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.”

Then why was it done?

Yet another left wing liar/propagandist. She should have inserted 8 seconds of her live colonoscopy from years ago.

Appaling. And lying that it was a mistake. It was totally deliberate.

I love it when people like Katie get caught and exposed for the frauds that they are.

Ms Couric, an executive producer of the film, also issued a statement Wednesday afternoon, saying, “I support Stephanie’s statement and am very proud of the film

I smell BS

Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the sound of silence

Yes, but WHY was Katie Couric such a regular out at Epstein’s ORGY ISLAND, where poor underage girls were repeatedly raped..?

Why was she going out there so much..?

“This was an unnecessary mistake,”

Sorry, that doesn't work. There is no dead air in a documentary. There is no such thing as an accidental 8 seconds of silence--which is an eternity. Heads would roll for that. More to the point, it is never allowed to happen.

Any silence is to make a point. What was the point? Must have been one--especially considering that the silence wasn't close in time to the question asked. What was it designed to show, and why was it inserted there? . . . Honest people can explain such things very simply. Others swirl around vague words and pretend to be surprised.

calling the edit an “unnecessary mistake,”

As compared to a "necessary mistake".

“This was an unnecessary mistake,”

Unlike all the “necessary” mistakes they normally make.

“It did not represent editing someone’s sentences, there was no factual error, this is not a mistake that is a substantive mistake.”

More mis-direction. The pause was not an accident, it was intentional and purposely misleading in order to make the interviewees look bad.

” It could have been avoided,”

But they didnt want to.
