Yahoo news anchor Katie Couric is standing by her gun documentary, even after the discovery that it was selectively edited to make it appear as if she stumped gun advocates with a simple question about background checks.
In a statement to the Washington Examiner’s media desk, Couric said she is “very proud of the film.” She served as the film’s producer.
The documentary’s director, Stephanie Soechtig, told the Examiner, “There are a wide range of views expressed in the film. 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 said.
