Parkland shooting survivor Colton Haab said that CNN pushed him to ask a scripted question at their gun control town hall Wednesday night, overruling him on the questions he wanted to ask.
“CNN had originally asked me to write a speech and questions and it ended up being all scripted,” Haab, a 17-year-old student at Stoneman Douglas High School, told local news station WPLG-TV. “I expected to be able to ask my questions and give my opinion on my questions.”
“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,” the WLPG-TV reporter said.
“I don’t think that it’s going to get anything accomplished, it’s not going to ask the true questions that all the parents and teachers and students have,” Haab said of the town hall. The questions that were asked at the town hall were overwhelmingly slanted in favor of gun control measures.

They were ready and waiting for something like this.
When it happened, they had their sock puppets and their propaganda all ready.
Sounds like Dr Evil took private lessons from Dr Goebbels.
I'm pleased this student had the decency to publicize this and that it's in the news. Not the first time CNN has their script ready to go, just waiting for someone to read verbatim. Kudos for publishing it, Mike.
