Florida shooting survivor says CNN gave him ‘scripted’ questions at town hall event

Recommended Posts

A survivor of the massacre as Parkland, Florida’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School is accusing CNN of giving him scripted questions during Wednesday night’s town hall on gun violence.
Colton Haab told Miami’s local WPLG-TV that the network refused to allow him to raise his idea that schools consider employing U.S. military veterans as armed security guards and instead offered him canned questions.
“CNN had originally asked me to write a speech and questions and it ended up being all scripted,” Haab said, adding that he decided not to attend the event as a result.
“I expected to be able to ask my questions and give my opinion on my questions,” Haab told the station’s Janine Stanwood. “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.”

 

 

 

SHOCKER!

WTF is wrong with CNN? :thumbsdown:

 

And this school shooting (like the others) just turns into Trump Supporters versus Liberals (and liberal media / Hollywood). It's so focking annoying. Can't human beings talk to one another as people without resorting to this stupid bloods versus the crips B.S. ? And you can't trust the media one bit.

 

I'm totally turned off by politics and current events these days. It's impossible.

The media is culpable for all the bull shlt they pull, but it's because people want it. They crave it. They love sensationalized headlines and stories. We have ourselves to blame also.

 

Case in point, someone posts the pic of the Hogg kid and the text describing him as an actor. Tons of likes and comments

 

Someone posts the proof that he isn't an actor, he is actually a victim from the shooting, 3 likes and zero comments

As was posted in the other thread...read the whole story.

 

 

The network has categorically denied the charges.

 

There is absolutely no truth to this. CNN did not provide or script questions for anyone in last nights town hall, nor have we ever, the company said in a statement to TheWrap.

 

After seeing an interview with Colton Haab, we invited him to participate in our town hall along with other students and administrators from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Coltons father withdrew his name from participation before the forum began, which we regretted but respected. We welcome Colton to join us on CNN today to discuss his views on school safety.

this whole thing could have been solved easily if he was one of the real victims.

We had the teleprompter President, one side loved him the other did not. Now we have the unscripted President. Not hard to figure out who is going to hate him. The left does not like their paint outside the lines.

Well yeah, being a real victim definitely helps. I thought that was just an understood thing, didn't need mentioning

Oh, so you were there or going by what you were told?

 

That's the problem with soooooo many people....not just libs, but conservatives also. Whatever side you are on, well, that side has the "real story" and "the truth". "Well actually here really what happened....."

 

The truth is, we don't know. We only know what we are told, and that's not "knowing" ---- because we are told two drastically different sides.

 

Also, this kid is such a kid. https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/22/politics/florida-shooting-survivor-trump-arming-teachers-don-lemon-cnntv/index.html

 

He said something like "Teachers shouldn't carry guns. They aren't there for that, they are there to be educators"

 

Hmmm. Then, uhhh...kid....I guess you are okay with more kids and teachers being shot. Sometimes in life...this is life....you have to do what it takes even if it doesn't fit your job description, or isn't how you think life should be. This kid tho, has been bred to believe life is fair, the government and police will take care of you in times of need. And yep...the cops showed up to help. After the kid had wiped out however many kids. Yeah...great thinking, liberal kid. Keep it up. You'll go far --- as long as the gubment, mom, dad or someone is there to hold your hand and wipe your @ss.

I actually colored outside the lines quite often as a kid, so it doesn't bother me too much. As much as I dislike Trump, I do like seeing his own party get pissed when he diverges

I like when the idiot sheep asked the Dem senator about blood on his hands. Whoops that question was supposed to be for the NRA rep.

 

The media is pushing an agenda and the libs fall for it hook line and sinker

The only way he could be a more real victim would be if he were in the hospital or worse, in a coffin.

I'll give you credit for seeing he diverges. Because he is actually socially middle of the road, perhaps even liberal. It's nice having a President who diverges.

Remember when Trump said that you shouldn't be president if you use the teleprompter? And now the only time he doesn't sound retarded is when he uses a teleprompter? The only time he doesn't sound retarded is when he uses it helicopter? And how his staff hates that? Good times. I bet you'd hate if I posted that video of him saying that huh?

My point was that there is likely more to the story than just this kid claiming this. Of course the board righties immediately are like...yeah, CNN did this blah blah blah. Without any real evidence of anything.

 

Onto your link...and that kid. He is ok with students and teachers being shot because he believes Teachers shouldn't be armed? You realize that most law enforcement, teachers, principals, and parents don't want their teachers armed...right?

This kid seems well spoken...bashing him for that as you did? Especially how you just did seems pretty weak and sad.

Arming teachers? Have you people gone completely insane?

Obviously an insane idea. Too many things can go wrong. From (1) an accidental shooting to (2) being disarmed by one of these low eared losers and then having the gun turned on the rest of the class to (3) the teacher themselves becoming the shooter.

I love the nutcases here. Anything anti establishment is fake news and some elaborate conspiracy of the networks. Any website that contradicts is a conspiracy and lies. But anything pro trump or establishment is pure and never in question at all no matter how silly it is.

 

I researched Hogg, he is a student at that school and not a crisis actor like I had originally thought.

 

This other kid simply didnt want his scripted questions. Its normal for someone on tv to be directed and handed questions. It doesnt mean the network is evil, it just means usually people suck at being on tv and they were helping. Put average joe in front of a camera and all you will get is um, uhh, umm, like, um. Network knows this and tries to help. Agenda? Sure a little, but mostly just wanting it to go smooth.

 

Oh and arming teachers is the dumbest idea in history. Lets give underpaid, high strung people dealing with little monsters all day loaded weapons when there is a minuscule chance he will ever need it. Never heard a worse idea. Will relish watching Dumbeski support it because it was Trumps idea.

Every parent at any school with armed teachers will yank their kid out so fast. It’s the mother of bad ideas. Not to mention I’d say heavy majority of teachers would simply refuse as they are not weapons specialists they are nerdy educators lol. Then they will say oh we will just hire new teachers that are trained military bad asses as well as soft mannered educators. Lol sure, enjoy that process.
