Update -- Couric Takes Responsibility for Inaccurate Edit in 'Under the Gun' Film

From Newsbusters via H/T at Instapundit:

Couric Takes Responsibility!

When I screened an early version of the film with the director, Stephanie Soechtig, I questioned her and the editor about the pause and was told that a “beat” was added for, as she described it, “dramatic effect,” to give the audience a moment to consider the question. When VCDL members recently pointed out that they had in fact immediately answered this question, I went back and reviewed it and agree that those eight seconds do not accurately represent their response.

VCDL members have a right for their answers to be shared and so we have posted a transcript of their responses here. I regret that those eight seconds were misleading and that I did not raise my initial concerns more vigorously.

That’s a nice bit of PR spin. But as Mollie Hemingway tweets, “of course she regrets getting caught. Is film being pulled? Is anything MEANINGFUL being done in response?”

Couric should join the long legacy of disgraced reporters. Rather, Peter Arnett, Jason Blair, Steohen Glass, et. al.
