Second Amendment rights advocacy organization the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL), along with two of its members, today filed a $12 million defamation lawsuit against Katie Couric, director Stephanie Soechtig, Atlas Films, and Studio 3 Partners LLC d/b/a Epix for false and defamatory footage featured in the 2016 documentary film Under the Gun. The film portrays a fictional exchange in which members of the VCDL appear silent, stumped, and avoiding eye contact for nearly nine seconds after Katie Couric asks a question about background checks. An unedited audio recording of the interview reveals that—contrary to the portrayal in the film—the VCDL members had immediately begun responding to Couric’s question.Good for them. It's bad enough that the media tells lies about the 2nd Amendment. It's worse when they try to make us look like idiots. Will the VCDL prevail? I dunno, but maybe more of these suits will make the media step back and take a look at how they portray people.

It's looks like Katie Couric is being sued for defamation, following deceitful editing of a portion of film in the documentary recently produced.
