Katie Couric says sorry for 'misleading' edit in gun rights documentary
The Guardian ^ | May 31, 2016 | Lois Beckett

Posted on 05/31/2016 7:38:34 AM PDT by Leaning Right

Katie Couric apologized on Monday after days of criticism about a “misleading” edit in her new documentary that made gun rights advocates “appear to be speechless” when asked a simple question about gun control.

“I take responsibility,” the news anchor wrote in a statement on the website for Under the Gun, a documentary about gun violence in America that she narrated and produced.

This story is (surprisingly) getting some coverage. It's also being reported by CNN and AP, for example.

She’s sorry she got caught.

If she were indeed taking responsibility for the story, she would quit.

Screw-up. Make a non-apology, apology and all is right with the world.

SOP for the feckless in the media.

Damn liberals. Always issuing insincere, worthless apologies. The liberals can take their apologies and shove ‘em.

“Why has she not been suspended or fired?”

Because the Liberal Hive never stings their own.

“If there are no background checks for gun purchasers, how do you prevent felons or terrorists from purchasing a gun?” Couric asks.

Is she really stupid enough to think that felons and terrorists go through legal channels to buy guns? She must have the IQ of dust.

Think back to the lies by Jennings, Rather, and others. They only got pressure when enough people started asking why nothing was done to them. Couric is not sorry and won’t be unless it costs her job.

Unethical liar.

I wouldn’t trust that c-word to run a cash register at a backwoods convenience store on a dirt road in Deliverance country.

Take your "Sorry" and shove it Couric!

Her Bias with her Sarah Palin interview was transparent as glass.

She should be reduced to faking articles in the Roanoke Democrat!

They did not make her look like an amature.

They caught her in direct, documented fraud.

Even National Propaganda Radio is saying it is unethical.

So is the New York Times and the Washington Post.

This is blowing up faster than Rathergate.

When the Guardian says you screwed up while promoting one of their pet “progressive” causes, you are toast, done.

Stick a fork in Katie. It has been long, long, overdue.

If there are no background checks for “journalists,” how do you prevent biased idiots from publishing fake news?

She still has not come clean. She said she had to review the audio tape to realize it was accurate....BUT when asking the original question she had interjected that she knew what they were going to say. She must have known the video was edited to put a pause in as soon as she saw it...because she knew they would not pause even back when she asked the question...she certainly knew afterward.
