Katie Couric’s gun-grabbing propaganda: Highly edited.

Videos exposing Planned Parenthood selling parts of aborted children for profit: Not highly edited.

Katie Couric and her film-making partners have been completely busted for their lack of integrity and anti-gun bias.  These Leftists just happened to have been caught this time because someone recorded the entire interview on audio, but you have to know that this has been going on 24×7 for decades with the media (The Daily Show, anyone?).  Here’s more:

Remember last summer when every media person with a fax machine recited the narrative that David Daleiden’s undercover videos exposing Planned Parenthood were “deceptively edited?” Uh huh. Well guess what? Katie Couric has a new “documentary,” Under the Gun, intended to push the anti-gun agenda and drumroll please… SHE DECEPTIVELY EDITED THE VIDEO. This is what some in the industry call a “smoking gun.”

Here’s the clip that made the final cut:

Couric wants to show how stupid, careless and uniformed gun-owners are. Her edited segment tries to paint pro-gun people as having no answers to the typical leftist talking points.

Except in the actual interview? The one that happened, in real life, before being cut by bleeding heart leftists intent on pushing a narrative, the narrative being “gun-owners are heartless cretins” and “guns are, like, super bad things, you guys”? Right, that interview paints a much different story. Spoiler-alert: Couric is a lying liar who lies. The gun supporters? Turns out, pretty informed. With the benefit of being right. Also protected by the Second Amendment.

The sad thing is how many people get their news solely from the mainstream media — and that includes the disgusting FOX channel these days — so they believed the lies about the Planned Parenthood baby-part-selling videos being “highly edited.”  Yeah, highly edited in the sense that they didn’t follow people into the bathrooms and record them there, but not highly edited in the sense of capturing their uncut conversations.

Couric’s video, on the other hand, was deceptively edited.  And they are trying to say we misunderstood!  Nice try.  That just adds another insult to the pile.  Just one more reason not to trust the gun-grabbing, child-killing, perverted, coveting Leftist media, education, religious and entertainment institutions.

Politics, Pro-life

Every video anyone shows is edited. Don’t let the pro-aborts change the subject.

As shown below, one of the most consistent double deceptions used by the child killers/sellers at Planned Parenthood and their supporters is that the videos uncovering their deeds were “highly edited” or “selectively edited.”  One deception that is the easiest to show is that the full videos are online as well.  Every journalist and pro-lifer should simply note that and ask whether they knew of the full videos or not. Either way they lose: If they didn’t know, why not?  If they did know, why are they deceiving others?

The other deception is pretending that every video you see isn’t edited.  Every news story is edited, even in the sense that they showed you one story (Cecil the lion) and not another story (Cecile Richards, Planned Parenthood CEO and chief liar and baby killer/seller).  Every documentary is edited, or no one would have time to watch them.  And so on.

But just because videos are edited doesn’t mean they are misleading.  If Planned Parenthood and their defenders want to make that claim they need to back it up.  Are they claiming that those weren’t real PP employees?

So never let the “Christian” Left or other Molech-worshiping ghouls get away with dismissing the videos as being edited.  Just ask a simple question: “Have you watched them?”  Then add, “Either way, let’s watch them together and you can highlight where you think they were deceptively edited.”

Via Democrats Blocking Bill to De-fund Planned Parenthood Admit They Haven’t Seen Shocking Videos | LifeNews.com.

But multiple democrats admitted they have not even seen the videos that caused the stir leading to Senate Republicans putting forward the bill to de-fund Planned Parenthood.

After the vote, Senate Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, who voted against the bill, released a statement through her federal office in Washington, D.C. In her quote, Shaheen said the videos were “highly edited.”

However, John McCormack at the Weekly Standard caught up with Senator Jeanne Shaheen and directly asked her about the Planned Parenthood video tapes. “I have not seen them,” Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire told McCormack after the vote.

Shaheen is not the only senator voting against de-funding Planned Parenthood who admittedly hasn’t watched the videos. As McCormack reports:

“I have not seen them, no,” Senator Bob Casey of Pennsylvania told me last week.

“I’m sorry, what’s your name?” asked Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii in response to a simple yes-or-no question. “Can you call my comms director?”

As New York senator Chuck Schumer stepped into a senators-only elevator, I asked him the same yes-or-no question. “Shut the door,” Schumer told an aide.

Only one Democratic senator, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, told me that she had seen any of the videos. McCaskill agreed that the videos were disturbing, but she added that “that’s not the point. The point is to prevent abortions by making sure that women can get birth control.”
