School Shooting Survivor Says He Was Given Scripted Questions for CNN Town Hall

As could have been expected the big CNN town hall featuring survivors of the mass shooting at Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was a rousing success in terms of propaganda.

From the moment that it was announced that the self-proclaimed “most trusted name in news” would be featuring students who survived that killing spree of a deranged individual, teachers, and parents it was clear that the event would be a one-sided chance for anti-gun activists to draw a national TV audience by exploiting kids to do so.

CNN is something that has never been seen in the domestic media and is more in line with state-run television in an authoritarian country like North Korea or out of a dystopian George Orwell novel. So intense is the propaganda, so prevalent the lies and so despicable the anchors that it wouldn’t be a reach to say that it is decidedly un-American.

But millions of people still believe what they are seeing from a network that established its brand in the 1980s and no longer resembles that network, not even remotely.

While he will be smeared or ignored by the rest of the media echo chamber today, one survivor of the Parkland massacre went to local media with his not so shocking revelation that instead of his own material which he had prepared for the show that CNN had given him scripted questions to ask.

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.

Haab was one of the heroes of that day so his story should be taken seriously. CNN itself was promoting him along with the others but unlike the students who advance the agenda, he was left out.

UPDATE: CNN released the following statement Thursday morning:

CNN did not, and does not, script any questions for town hall meetings, ever.

Haab was one of the heroes of that day so his story should be taken seriously.

CNN itself was promoting him along with the others but unlike the students who advance the agenda, he was left out because he refused to participate in what was nothing more than a psyops campaign to use children as the spearhead for the ultimate disarmament of law-abiding Americans.

It was a farce but what else can be expected from CNN?
