Katie Couric sued over deceptive editing in gun control documentary

Katie Couric and director Stephanie Soechtig are being sued for defamation after they inappropriately edited their gun-control documentary to make gun-rights activists look bad.

Back in May, Stephen Gutowski of the Washington Free Beacon released audio from Couric’s interview with gun-rights group Virginia Citizens Defense League, which was interviewed by Couric and Soechtig for their documentary, “Under the Gun.” In the film, Couric asks members of the group: “If there are no background checks for gun purchasers, how do you prevent felons or terrorists from purchasing a gun?”
