But you're a reporter. So investigate and report. Or do you not want to do that to a friend?…

Most mainstream media outlets have been pretty slow to report on Katie Couric getting busted for her shameful, deceptively edited anti-gun documentary, but at least CNN’s Chris Cuomo has a good reason to be super-cautious:
Getting lots abt couric documentary and allegations of deceptive editing. I know nothing except what read. I know her to be solid. Ask her
— Christopher C. Cuomo (@ChrisCuomo) May 26, 2016
“Ask her”?
Ask her? Okay, good idea. Where can we find a journalist?

So bold.

Good Lord, Chris.
Or you could listen to the actual audio, as many media critics have & just report the truth. It's fairly straight forward.

.@ChrisCuomo You'll ignore the audio which conclusively proves she lied AND @stephsoechtig's own admission she doctored the film? #GunGate

There's audio evidence. I ask YOU to listen
— DaveMedia_LNK (@DaveMedia_LNK) May 26, 2016
easy. Watch the video, listen to audio. Now what do you think?

Seriously, it's right here @ChrisCuomo. Takes two minutes to see the video and the unedited audio https://t.co/bgLXCAkk4N

Not difficult for a serious journalist, no. But Chris doesn’t exactly fit that bill, does he?
Why don't you take two minutes to compare the video and audio? Aren't you a journalist? Ask yourself. https://t.co/vLAsFeFWpK
— Jimmy (@JimmyPrinceton) May 26, 2016
He’d like to ask himself that, but he’s got to take a lot into very careful consideration. Because that’s just how he likes to do things, you know?
I need to know more. I know that you like to assume you know everything so you can have an opinion instantly. https://t.co/Nxb06Usz8s
— Christopher C. Cuomo (@ChrisCuomo) May 26, 2016
Kind of like you needed to “know more” about those Planned Parenthood videos, Chris?
Oh, wait:

But that was different, you guys.
Took most of a day. Try it https://t.co/FZMGrda07C
— Christopher C. Cuomo (@ChrisCuomo) May 26, 2016
So what’s your excuse now, Chris? You can’t take a few minutes to try to “know more”?
I appreciate that you think that I know all things all the time. I wish that were true… I will look into it. https://t.co/xVAdNfeVRG
— Christopher C. Cuomo (@ChrisCuomo) May 26, 2016
Trust us, pal: Nobody thinks you know things.
https://twitter.com/mattshtn/status/735869519449710596
You really aren’t.
It's been 5 hours. Have you looked into it yet? Just wondering… https://t.co/H6hrW41eDt
— Stephen Gutowski (@StephenGutowski) May 26, 2016
We’re guessing no. He certainly hasn’t tweeted about it yet.
It’s almost as if he’s not actually interested in the truth at all.
We wouldn't expect you to dig any further to find the truth
— James B (@JamesBizzo) May 26, 2016
Why do you pretend to be a journalist? You're clearly not interested in discovering the truth.
— ScientificMethod (@Technite78) May 26, 2016
So you're uninformed and uninterested in investigating it further? You're quite the journalist, aren't you? #MediaMeathead

Nice dodge. But RIP to your journalistic integrity.

Heh. As if he ever had any to begin with.
