AMN: A federal judge found that a Second Amendment group interviewed in Katie Couric’s gun documentary, “Under The Gun,” could not prove that filmmakers edited the footage in an effort to defame them.
U.S. District Judge John A. Gibney Jr. ruled that Katie Couric, director Stephanie Soechtig, production company Atlas Films and distributor Epix did not attempt to defame the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) in the documentary.
The VCDL filed a lawsuit against them last September for a part of the documentary that they said was edited to defame the group.
During one part of the documentary, members of the Virginia Citizens Defense League appear to have no answer to a question that Couric asks in an interview.
The question she asked was, “If there are no background checks for gun purchasers, how do you prevent felons or terrorists from walking into, say, a licensed gun dealer and purchasing a gun?”
The group stays silent in the film, but it was revealed that the group did have an immediate response to the question. more
The Federal courts are going to be the next battleground for conservatives vs progressives.
This is absolute BS. I’ve seen the edited and unedited versions.
This is becoming scary folks. The judicial tyranny, from judges limiting the Article II authority of POTUS by issuing rulings based on what a candidate says during the campaign, to SCOTUS rewriting statues finding Obamacare premiums to be “taxes”, to this crap.
“Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” is looking further away in my rear view mirror.
As Lunchbucket Joe would say, “I’ve got TWO WORDS for you”
ARTICLE V CONVENTION
A long time ago, when I was clueless, I thought Katie Couric was cute and downright f-able. Now, I wouldn’t do her for any amount of $$.
Gross…
This “judge” failed to address the specifics that created the case to begin with and then defamed the group himself by calling what they said in the interview “sophistry”. He stated in his decision:
“In reality, members of the VCDL did not answer the question posed by Couric. They talked about background checks and gun laws generally, but did not answer the question of how to prevent felons or terrorists from purchasing guns without background checks. The editing simply dramatizes the sophistry of the VCDL members.”
Maybe they can sue his sorry ass for defamation as well in the appeals case. America hasn’t had a valid legal system for quite some time due to the hubris and corruption of judges and self-serving prosecutors that infest the system, and it is only getting worse.
she a sad troll with lil hands. :b
Another scrunt that needs to meet a baseball bat.
Everyone has their price, with liberals…..the price is considerably lower.
Hideous bag
She has that same look that Hilary has, that fat, entitled arrogant smirk
She needs a Hickory shampoo
Told ya.
I bet KC performed oral sex on her liberal judge buddy fro that travesty of injustice.
Keep it up liberals. We are making of list of those who will be hung for treason if you provoke the civil war you clearly want.
I measure the size of my shits in units of Couric.
They need to appeal this claining bias from the Judge. They already admitted to tamper with the film to make them look like they couldn’t answer a simple question. The Judge needs to defend his verdict before whatever Judiciary Review process is in place. Get this to SCOTUS and let’s see what happens.
That’s funny; the libs can’t answer this question either; their response is “More gun laws for the people that aren’t the problem!”
