While Katie Couric sold her fake perky dark soul for access to Michael Johnson, Ashleigh attempted to ask the question that was pertinent to what was happening at the Sydney Olympics.

In the scene that has come under scrutiny, Couric is interviewing members of the pro-gun Virginia Citizens Defense League. In the clip, Couric asks: \u201cIf there are no background checks for gun purchasers, how do you prevent felons or terrorists from purchasing a gun?\u201d She is met with stunned silence from the organization, as they look sullen with a lack of eye contact, seemingly embarrassed that their argument had been defeated.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/freebeacon.com\/issues\/audio-shows-katie-couric-gun-documentary-deceptively-edited-interview-pro-gun-activists\/?platform=hootsuite\">Washington Free Beacon<\/a>&nbsp;reported, \u201cHowever, raw audio of the interview between Katie Couric and the activists provided to the&nbsp;Washington Free Beacon&nbsp;shows the scene was deceptively edited. Instead of silence, Couric\u2019s question is met immediately with answers from the activists. A back and forth between a number of the league\u2019s members and Couric over the issue of background checks proceeds for more than four minutes after the original question is asked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
