$12 million defamation suit for 'misleading' gun documentary edits


Now the loony left are claiming defamation is protected by the 1st amendment!

Katie Couric faces $12 million defamation suit for 'misleading' gun documentary edits http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2016/09/13/katie-couric-faces-12-million-defamation-suit-for-misleading-gun-documentary-edits.html

"Katie Couric has publicly admitted that the film, which was presented to VCDL as a 'documentary,' was misleading and misrepresented VCDL," Phillip Van Cleave, President of the VCDL, tod FOXNews.com. "However, Couric and the other filmmakers have refused to fix the film or to even stop promoting and distributing it. The only way to hold Couric accountable was to file a lawsuit."

A clip in the film appears to show nine seconds of silence after Couric asks them, "If there are no background checks for gun purchasers, how do you prevent felons or terrorists from purchasing a gun?"
