2016: James O’Keefe Confronts Katie Couric for Deceptively Editing Gun Video

Project Veritas
. . . Couric can be heard in the interview asking activists from the group, “If there are no background checks for gun purchasers, how do you prevent felons or terrorists from purchasing a gun?”
The documentary then shows the activists sitting silently for nine awkward seconds, unable to provide an answer. It then cuts to the next scene…
…However, raw audio of the interview between Katie Couric and the activists provided to the Washington Free Beacon shows the scene was deceptively edited. Instead of silence, Couric’s question is met immediately with answers from the activists. A back and forth between a number of the league’s members and Couric over the issue of background checks proceeds for more than four minutes after the original question is asked.
"In this new video, James O’Keefe confronts Katie Couric’s use of deceptive editing in her gun documentary. He explains that you can’t trust the mainstream media when they falsely accuse journalists like O’Keefe of selectively editing videos, but then actually deceptively edit and manipulate video to deceive the public. O’Keefe argues that the mainstream media needs to be held to the same standards to which they hold him." . . .
