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.
"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.
"I expected to be able to ask my questions and give my opinion on my questions," Haab said.
"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."

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.

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.

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"??)

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.

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.

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.

Jameson (paraphrased translation):

Why do you find it acceptable or expected that people in authority lie to you?

Get your facts straight Parsons. I HAVE posted articles about Canadian issues before, so that's lie #1.
As far as the Edmonton article, if you had actually read the entire thing, even you with your limited intellectual skills would have been able to figure out it was Canada.
Instead of actually discussing the article itself, you whined in numerous emotionally distraught posts that it was all a big plot and that the author did that on purpose to "make cops look bad" or some such nonsense.
My advice to you - read the fricken' article.
