I rightfully, and masterfully, ridiculed #Katie Couric and her new #anti-gun ‘#documentary‘ a while ago on the show. She appeared on ‘The Late Show with Steven Colbert’ to peddle her new fiction movie called ‘#Under The Gun.’ From the clips she showed it was clear this movie was going to be an exercise in #selective editing, and leading questions.

I also mocked her for stating that ‘the NRA only represents 5% of gun owners.’ No Katie, the #NRA represents 100% of gun owners. Only 5% are paying members.

Plus, we already know her claim that 90% want #universal background checks is a #debunked #myth. When you ask the question in a specific way about private transfers, 53% of Americans disagree with having background checks of this nature.
Here we are a few weeks later, and we have already acquired the proof that Katie Couric’s ‘Under the Gun’ is about as accurate as the NY Times’ discredited hit piece on Trump.
Oops!
Of course, anyone who watches that scene absent the raw/true audio will know it is heavily edited. Confirmation bias, however, will make anti-Constitution advocate WANT to believe it wasn’t edited to push a false narrative.
The group Katie Couric LIES about in this scene are not happy campers.
The Virginia Citizens Defense League labeled the deceptively edited segment featured in the film “unbelievable and extremely unprofessional.” Philip Van Cleave, the organization’s president, said the editing was done deliberately to make it appear that league members didn’t have a response to Couric’s question.
“Katie Couric asked a key question during an #interview of some members of our organization,” he said. “She then intentionally removed their answers and spliced in nine seconds of some prior video of our members sitting quietly and not responding. Viewers are left with the misunderstanding that the members had no answer to her question.”
In all honesty, you guys should have known better. Maybe you did. Perhaps that’s why we have the raw audio.
There are many false claims in the movie that have been #exposed, but Katie Couric and the anti-Constitution lobby are all in using the Joseph Goebbels model of propaganda.
