(Washington Free Beacon) Fed Up, which focuses on obesity and the food industry, was directed by Stephanie Soechtig and produced by Couric. The film includes two interviews with figures who hold viewpoints counter to the narrative of the film, and sources say both interviews include at least one misleading or deceptive edit intended to embarrass the interviewee.

As Ed Morrissey notes (H/T HotAir),

This looks like a pattern of deceit and bad faith. One has to wonder how many more victims of the Couric/Soechtig model of journalism will emerge to tell similar stories about too-good-to-be-true interview sequences in their films.

My money is on ‘more victims.’
