Oh, puh-LEEZE! Check out how the AP spun Katie Couric getting busted for doctored anti-gun doc

@AP Claim? It is proven, not just a "claim". Report the facts news people, how hard can that be?

As Twitchy told you, thanks to some intrepid reporting at The Washington Free Beacon, Katie Couric has been outed (OK, confirmed) as a shameless liar and propagandist for hawking her deceptively edited anti-gun doc “Under the Gun.”

But here’s how the AP reported the bombshell:

Gun supporters claim #KatieCouric documentary deceptivehttps://t.co/C9imcVjaG0 pic.twitter.com/uNtgAzT097

"Gun supporters claim"? Subjects have audio & director admits they inserted empty pause. Clear malicious intent to deceive.
