Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student Colton Haab said he was approached by CNN to ask a question at Wednesday night's town hall but decided not to after the network gave him a "scripted question," quashing one he wrote himself. Haab, a member of the Junior ROTC shielded students while the school was under attack from the shooter, said he was going to ask about using veterans as armed security guards. "I expected to be able to ask my questions and give my opinion on my questions," Haab said.
"CNN had originally asked me to write a speech and questions and it ended up being all scripted," Haab told WPLG-TV.
CNN aired a town hall on the Florida school shooting with Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Bill Nelson (D-FL) that included NRA's Dana Loesch and Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel that was moderated by Jake Tapper. Students and parents asked questions about gun control and school safety.
"Colton Haab, a member of the Junior ROTC who shielded classmates in the midst of terror says he did not get to share his experience," WPLG's Janine Stanwood explained.
"Colton wrote questions about school safety, suggested using veterans as armed school security guards but claims CNN wanted him to ask a scripted question instead so he decided not to go," Stanwood reported.
"CNN had originally asked me to write a speech and questions and it ended up being all scripted," Haab said. "I don't think that it's going get anything accomplished. It's not gonna ask the true questions that all the parents and teachers and students have."

#9. To: no gnu taxes (#8)
I've seen some commentary arguing that Rubio made a good stand for himself and for the GOP before a very hostile mob. Politics is performance art in some measure so maybe they're right.
I don't watch CNN ever moment of the day (to say the least), so I guess some of that stuff might have slipped through.
CBS Miami is on Eastern time. That screenshot was taken in California or somewhere in the Pacific time zone, making it three hours difference by the clock. Google and Twitter do adjust to local time automatically. You are such a rube.
Honestly, instead of analyzing everyone else's arguments, maybe you should make you own arguments. I'm just saying....
CBS Los Angeles Redondo Beach bum, Hogg. I did check the actual Twitter timelime. It does state 12:12pm. But I am not logged in to Twitter and my IP address is VPNed to show me in Central Time zone anyway. Unlike your yellow-journalism source, I'm willing to give the actual link to the tweet so you don't have to take my word for it. I think it is the Uber timeline and the Fox News timeline that are in error. FloridaToday: 17 killed in 'catastrophic' shooting at Parkland school; shooter in custody, According to the FNC timeline, the shooter hadn't even been arrested yet. But Florida Times was already reporting his arrest. Or maybe they're all in on Da Conspiracy. Maybe that should be your next article.
I regularly report news stories and comment on them. What I don't do is post a lot of #FakeNews to this site. That is what Deckard does. Go look at that crackpot site he got this article from.
Snopes was already all over the mistake. You should have fact-checked....you never do. Will you ever learn? Enough posters saw the thread to confirm that you are a: “Stupid is as stupid does.”
I'm just saying....
That yearbook photo is an exposed fake. The woman who retweeted it has retracted it.

An earlier thread was deleted because of you. You worry about Edmonton, CA. Get over it! You failed, tater. You are dwelling on a subject that doesn't require any more babysitting.
He reads something he wants to believe....and he believes it. He reads something he doesn’t believe....and it's a lie. Sad ....
I live in your brain....LMAO.
Mountain Time Zone?
I had corrected that in the post on the other thread, hadn't come back to change this one. But yes I know there are three time zones in the States, not two. You're just getting even with me over that Edmonton thread. : )
Absolutely. :) Felt good ...
A Four-Fer BUST of credibility at minimum. (If any one want to add to the list, go right ahead... 1) CNN ("Most trusted name in News") caught grooming FAKE "Witnesses" of a FAKE narrative 2) The collective MSM in general, who parrot each other at times word-for-word 3) The entire Gun-Grab Movement Conspirators, spearheaded but an undeclared subversive Lobbyist: The DNC via the MSM (Isn't this a Conflict of Interest?) 4) FULL-ON coordinated collusion of the Democrat Party and Soros Machination, who OWN much of the Social Media, Print Media, Tee-Bee Media. The American Pravda.
Go back to tater peelin'. Its what you do best.
QUESTIONS: 1) How can a medium that literally and routinely INVENTS "witnesses," CREATES scripts, LIES about every step of a FAKE Narrative continue to be aired and do so with total impunity? THE MSM-LEFT HAS A LICENSE TO STEAL. They STEAL THE TRUTH, THEN REPLACE IT WITH LIES. 2) Isn't it about time that there's an Investigation over the non-stop collusion between the Media AND Democrat Party (and McCain GOPe-Wing) AND Deep State echelon? 3) How long must America put up with this MSM monopoly of "news" from their Marxist-Socialist-Globalist world-view and agenda shoved in our face day after day? America is being blitzed by the DNC-Left's lying crap. With no end in sight. NO network programming (not even sports or Sit-Coms) escape their propagandist messaging, which is their priority. HOW. MUCH. LONGER?? 4)For how long will TV be given license by gubmint governed by the FCC to a free platform in which to promote and disseminate FAKE agenda-driven "news" -- openly and widely promoting contempt and vile HATRED of the truth, of conservative viewpoints, of conservative commentators and people, of President Trump etc be tolerated? 5) At what point is the Left's MSM/TV presentation of FAKE News (as it regards itself as "The Resistance") officially deemed to be nothing but coordinated propaganda and seditious? 6) At what point (if ever) is the collective MSM declared a DOMESTIC ENEMY of America, of Freedom, and of the Constitution itself? Second Biggest "HATE GROUP" winds up being the collective MSM... 7) (IRONY: Who authorized the vile Hate Group -- the Southern Law and Poverty Center -- THE Arbitor of "Hate"??)
just a few kids being used in a publicity stunt Uh, you shot YOU MISSED!! This is not quite the simple prank you make it out to be. Of course you aren't affected by any subsequent policies here in the US, are you? I'm not sure if you really are unable to grasp the depth and extent of this lying stunt and the massive fraud perpetrated in the name of "news reporting"...aren't paying much attention...OR, simply just support, "by any means necessary."
That kid was scripted by someone else. He was a crisis actor. TC is evolving. Welcome aboard the CT-Express! (Gatlin is deeply saddened by this.) ;-)
I'm shocked! SHOCKED,AH TELLS YA! You may not be shocked or fooled but the Zombies are. (then again most likely STILL believe The Actor and CNN's Fake News.)
WHY isn't the media asking where the money came from to finance their trips to DC? That is just ONE question to ask. Another would be, "WHY DO YOU (CNN/MSNBC/CBS/NBC/ABC/PBS/NYT/WaPo/Etal) CONSTANTLY LIE AND HATE AMERICA??"
Yes, he's evolving. I await the day when TC starts posting stuff from Alex Jones and asks, "Yeah, just where IS that Pentagram vid of a so-called 'plane' hitting it?"
So you're telling us you fully expect CNN (Most Trusted Name In News"), the entire Leftist Media, and Dems to openly lie and perform stagecraft in order to advance their anti-Gun agenda or ANY part of the Leftist Agenda? Are you typical in your Dem-Liberal circles?
Oh come on TC. Just leap in; the water's fine. He was not pretending to be a victim. Apparently he did attend the school on the day of the shooting. He sure is "pretending." The pretense is expressed while CNN frames him as a victim/"witness." But that's what CNN and the MSM do -- create illusions and mirages, whether in this venue, Yahoo headlines or via polls. Don't think I'm buying into your whole schtick about Newtown or Boston Marathon "crisis actors" because I most certainly do not. It doesn't matter whether you "buy into" those of any similar stagecraft; It is a fact that "Crisis Actors" indeed performed at both Newtown as well as at the Boston Marathon.
Keep at it , TC ...
So you're telling us you fully expect CNN (Most Trusted Name In News"), the entire Leftist Media, and Dems to openly lie and perform stagecraft in order to advance their anti-Gun agenda or ANY part of the Leftist Agenda? It was a TV show. CNN is a network. So is FoxNews, Leftist media? No different than "right-wing talk radio" Do I expect all-of-the-above to take liberties with the facts to pitch their position? Do I expect over-the-top sensationalism to be used to sway the opinions of the willfully ignorant and gullible? Of course. You know it's true. If you are capable of rational thought, I think you know how this is going to play out.
That ["organic & spontaneous"] is the way CNN was presenting it. That is a FACT. CNN's presentation of illusion was a performance any magician (or 0bama) would be proud of. Of course, CNN caters to complete idiots, as it sort of matches their own intelligence levels. CNN and their Idiot Machine believes (and assumes) EVERYONE is an idiot. Just like the Entire Left. Trained zombie-seals clap for a show about a fake personal witness to fake conversation of a fake event. How precious. The CNN moderator should at least roll out a disclaimer on the tee-bee screen to its viewers before the performance begins. I chuckle at the way these CNN anchoresses wear those bookworm glasses ( we used to call them "birth control glasses" in the military) to try and make themselves look more erudite. HA! Yup. Part of the costume and illusion. If CNN was honest they'd all hold hand and bow at the end of a show like this.
Just don't forget to sport your Trojan, Happy-Pappy.
You do have a rich fantasy life.
TC and Parsons (Gatlin) share the same blindness and an have developed a deep affinity for one another. CNN is a network. So is FoxNews, CNN is a network that routinely bashes conservative viewpoints and the truth...on ALL their "TV show" programming. Q: Since when did CNN "NEWS" become a sponsor of agenda-driven agit-prop masquerading as the truth? Leftist media? No different than "right-wing talk radio" Swing and miss. The Leftist Media disseminates lies as a matter of the daily record, of daily agenda, and as a matter of daily fact. I'd also add that they also actively promote and advocate HATRED and contempt of anyone who dares disagree with them and their agenda. (I noticed you didn't mention "right-wing network" because there ARE NONE.) "Right-wing media"? They report THE actual NEWS. And TRUTH. (unless you can point out the "lies".) Do I expect all-of-the-above to take liberties with the facts to pitch their position? Do I expect over-the-top sensationalism to be used to sway the opinions of the willfully ignorant and gullible? Of course. You know it's true. "Sensationalism" = LIES. Is that the intellectual contortionism you've found makes what CNN does acceptable or ethical? Pretty low standard. Again -- CNN's motto, "Most Trusted Name In News" is supposed to MEAN something, but here you're telling us to assume they lie? What's that say about your ilk? OUR side expects the truth. ALL the time. From everyone from a platform that dispenses and reports "news." If you are capable of rational thought, I think you know how this is going to play out. Hard to say given the Left's monopoly on messaging and censorship of individuals' truth at YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. That leaves conservative Talk Radio, conservative blogs, and Sean Hannity, Tucker, and the few FNC talking heads to inform everyone else of CNN's stagecraft lies.
Your toe already dipped into the pool. You're CT-contaminated ;-)
Well, Gilligan is a hopeless ACLU-Statist sock-puppet.. TC displays some potential, although he's having a difficult time of letting go of The Illusion.
Yes, stupid. They lie. The talking heads on Fox lie, right-wing talk radio lies, the right-wing conspiracy theory websites, the "conservative" social media trolls...all lie, and they lie all the time. You know this is true, but you like the lies, the lies make you feel empowered. It's a crock James. And you DO know how this is going to play out. It's going to be a hot Summer
Jameson (paraphrased translation): "Yes, our Leftist Media lies. Why should you or anyone else be surprised? We on the Left expect our ilk to lie AND accept it because it's who and what we are." Why do you find it acceptable or expected that people in authority lie to you? Q: Does the truth matter to you when you deal with someone in a personal relationship or in business? Or do you expect EVERYONE to lie to you?
