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.”

“unnecessary mistake”???? Really??
No, Katie, that was not an “unnecessary mistake”. It was dishonest, which for you and you MSM ilk, is par for the course.
Just go off into the sunset and never come back!

> I love it when people like Katie get caught and exposed for the frauds that they are.
Katie is a long time leftie liar. I'm surprised she hasn't converted to Islam and donned a burqa on the air yet.

“unnecessary mistake”
While attempting to adjust for lighting, the editor accidentally lowered the public perception, which is the dial right next to the glare reduction on his console.

No mistake, simply the spread false propaganda.

In an official statement, Soechtig said, “my intention was to provide a pause for the viewer to have a moment to consider this important question before presenting the facts on Americans’ opinions on background checks. I never intended to make anyone look bad and I apologize if anyone felt that way.” Soechtig is a liar. That entire piece was carefully crafted to make gun owners look bad. They're only sorry they got caught.

Couric got exposed as the criminal slime she is.
To: McGruff
People are taking notice and are speaking up. The Katie Couric’s of the world are being exposed for who and what they truly are: lying scumbags.
And the woman are worse than the men IMHO. i will never forget Katie setting Sarah up with the, “what do you read” question. Made her sound like an idiot. (Do not attack me about the Sarah Palin of today vs in 2007)
To the point, Couric has been on a mission to discredit all on the right.
She has many who join her in doing so.

She clearly misconstrued the pejorative attempt to cause a conundrum ...:)

“This was an unnecessary mistake,” an individual with knowledge of Couric’s thinking told TheWrap...Yeah, sure...Couric is so stupid and vacuous that nobody can know what the bimbo is thinking...hell, she don't even know what she's thinking, if she ever has.
Journalist, my foot.

“An unnecessary mistake.” NONSENSE! They got caught red handed and as is their modus operandi, never accept blame but divert it to another individual or call it something other than an intentional attempt to make anyone not holding their political Weltanschauung look idiotic. These people are not journalists and not objective, just useful idiots.
