I wish they would let it go. This is starting to smell personal. We have a gubernatorial election to win and need to focus resources on that election. The media isn't going to "learn a lesson" from this even if VCDL wins. Don't like how liberal journalists with an agenda portray (betray) gun owners in the media? Don't cooperate with them. I'm disappointed hat they intend to pursue this, regardless of outcome. We have scarce resources and need to leverage them in ways that most benefit the Commonwealth's gun owners. VCDL leadership needs to sacrifice their pride and hit them where it counts - in November!

I do agree that VCDL aren't the folks who should be taking this on. But since they have, it's up to all of us to help them anyway we can.

If you believed you were defamed and portrayed in a false light by the media, you might take it personal, too. It's a very personal tort.

they were made to look like buffoons.

don't blame them one bit.

Jim12 · Jun 6, 2017

To her, gun owners are buffoons and she just emphasized the truth. The judge agreed.

swinokur · Jun 6, 2017

which makes an appeal appropriate

Jim12 · Jun 6, 2017

Exactly.

j_h_smith · Jun 6, 2017

Is there any way we can shop for a court to hear the case or is it automatically sent to 1 specific court for the appeal?

swinokur · Jun 6, 2017

the ordiginal case originated in the U.S.District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia which under the jurisdiction of the 4CA.

so that's where the appeal will be heard by a 3 judge panel.

FYI, a VCDL representative will be on Tucker tonight between 8:35-8:50 to discuss the appeal.

Virginia Citizens Defense League To Appeal The Katie Couric Lawsuit Dismissal

https://www.ammoland.com/2017/06/vi...al-katie-couric-lawsuit-ruling/#axzz4jROxjSjd

Posted on June 6, 2017 by Ammoland

Virginia*–*-(Ammoland.com)- *The Virginia Citizens Defense League Board of Directors, after careful consideration, has decided that the recent ruling dismissing the Virginia Citizens Defense League case against Katie Couric, et al, CANNOT STAND!

The lawsuit has far reaching implications for all Americans. If the media can be allowed to change a person's words to suit the media's own needs or beliefs, then a grievous blow will have been struck against the very core of the freedom that the United States stands for!

NO! We are going to fight this because too much is at stake.

Today, I have directed Virginia Citizens Defense League's attorneys to move forward with the appeal to the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, where it will be heard by a three-judge panel “de novo” (which means the merits of the case will be heard anew with no consideration of the judge's ruling that recently dismissed the case).

Unfortunately fighting this kind of battle in court is not cheap, including the appeals process, for which we now have to budget. But the nature of the ruling is so dangerous to our liberty that Virginia Citizens Defense League must stay in the fight and prevail!

Virginia Citizens Defense League rarely asks for money other than your yearly $25 dues. But when we do, we make sure you understand why we are asking.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!
You will be updated whenever there is breaking news on Virginia Citizens Defense League's lawsuit.

I'll be donating more.

The main reason to to keep the pressure on is to force Katie Couric and her documentary producers to remove the offending "dumbstruck-with-silence" pause, which lives on in the production.

That STRUCTURED SLANDER cannot be allowed to stand for all future viewings
