Gosh a couple of butt sniffing Democrats place all their faith in CNN, who would have guessed?

I place my faith in evidence not conspiracy theories. Let that kid post exactly what he says CNN told him to say. Compare it to his original speech. Question the other kids and see if they tell similar stories.

Funny shit coming from the dirtiest Dump bootlicker on these forums. Literally the poster child for unquestioning cowardly obedience.

Don't forget....he advocates killing children with hand grenades. Such a fine person.

"Stick to the script" doesn't necessarily mean "stick to the words we wrote for you". I can certainly see some push-back if someone were intending to use their opportunity to give a speech and ask leading questions rather than collaborate on a discussion. CNN's response is quite categorical. I wouldn't be surprised if it was clouding some attempts to reign in him.

They actually said they were trying to reign him in. They said they asked him to elaborate a little on his question. What they got back was what looked like a speech instead of a question. The format was not for those types of statements so they pushed back. And here we are.

And now the rest of the story.

• A top CNN producer — Stevenson — took the initiative to contact Haab, who had gotten on the network’s radar via previous interviews, including one with “Fox & Friends.” “If Coach [Aaron] Feis had had his firearm in school that day, I believe that he could most likely have stopped the threat,” said Haab.
• Stevenson asked Haab what he’d like to address at the town hall, and what questions he wished to pose to politicians.
• In an email offering four questions, Haab had included this: “Have we thought about having a class for teachers who are willing to be armed trained to carry on campus?” According to a CNN source, Stevenson discussed the whole thing with Haab in a phone call. CNN’s plan was to have Haab preface that question with the observation he’d already made on “Fox & Friends,” such that Haab would face Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) with these words:

Senator Nelson, if Coach Feis had had his firearm in school that day, I believe that he could have most likely stopped the threat. Have we thought about having a class for teachers who are willing to be armed trained to carry on campus?

According to the CNN source, Glenn Haab, the boy’s father, intervened toward the end of the process, insisting that Colton Haab present some “background” thoughts to precede his question at the town hall. “We are not actors nor do we read from a script,” wrote Glenn Haab in an email to Stevenson. “The short background before each question is extremely relevant to each question. “I[f] you want Colton only to read this one short question – we are not the right people for your town hall meeting.”

As I thought the truth comes out. It was a tough question, streamlined and strengthened by a producer and posed to a Democratic Senator. But like all things the right already has it's narrative, facts be dammed.
Listen to the Carlson interview and ask yourself why certain questions weren't ask (what did you want to say, what did they want you to say) and why this email wasn't presented.

The Fox News effectiveness is that, "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."

 

[Thebobo]

But Waaaaaaaaaaaaaannity!

 

[Commodus]

Yeah, despite Republican diehards' attempts to portray Colton Haab as a kind of martyr and use this as 'proof' CNN is eeeeeeevil, the reality is different and muddied.

The boring reality: this wasn't about trying to censor Haab's view (the question clearly came up), it was that CNN wanted this to be kept to questions, not long speeches. It sounds like Haab either confused concision with censorship or deliberately exploited it to fuel the outrage engine that fools gullible people like Sp33demon.

Laughable when the right is sliming the protesting kids exactly because they're questioning authority.

Whatever happened to the crisis actor talking point? Have they gotten their checks from Soros yet?

 

[emperus]

Here's what the young man from the school said: I believe his words, feel free to take the CNN spokesperson's word.


“I just want to make sure I have this straight,” Carlson said. “So you sent them a long, in effect, essay on what you thought, but they put their own words in the question and they weren’t the same as the words you had sent in? They were the producer’s words?”

“Absolutely,” Haab said. “They had taken what I had wrote and what I had briefed on and talked about and they actually wrote the question for me.”


“But not with your words, I mean they put their own words into your question, even after they asked to you send questions in. But that seems dishonest,” the Daily Caller co-founder said.

“It definitely did. That’s kind of why I didn’t go last night. Originally I had thought that it was going to be more of my own question and my own say and then it turned out to be more of just a script. And she had actually said that over the phone I needed to stick to the script.”"

When you posted this, did you ask yourself why it seems they are trying so hard not to reveal the question CNN actually wanted him to ask? Now for Tucker Carlson, we understand, he's good at this "hide the truth" BS, but ask yourself why the child didn't reveal the question CNN wanted him to ask. Seems kinda like someone coached(scripted) him on what to say, No?

Another perfect example of the right-wing narrative being 100% full of shit. The boy was asked to give four ideas for questions by email. CNN then picked one from his four ideas. This one:

“Have we thought about having a class for teachers who are willing to be armed trained to carry on campus?”

CNN Producer Stevenson discussed the whole thing with Haab in a phone call. CNN’s plan was to have Haab preface that question with the observation he’d already made on “Fox & Friends,” such that Haab would face Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) with these words:

"Senator Nelson, if Coach Feis had had his firearm in school that day, I believe that he could have most likely stopped the threat. Have we thought about having a class for teachers who are willing to be armed trained to carry on campus?"

It's the same question, fleshed out with Haab's own thoughts.

He was NOT fed a scripted question. He was LIMITED to one question of his own choosing.

But where things went bad was here:

"Glenn Haab, the boy’s father, intervened toward the end of the process, insisting that Colton Haab present some “background” thoughts to precede his question at the town hall. “We are not actors nor do we read from a script,” wrote Glenn Haab in an email to Stevenson. “The short background before each question is extremely relevant to each question. “I[f] you want Colton only to read this one short question – we are not the right people for your town hall meeting.”
He was not scripted, he was limited. Limited from droning on and taking up time for others."

So much for the "scripted" nonsense.

I was with you up until here. Then I had to shake my head no. It won't end. It will continue in this very thread. And I'd put money on who continues it.

But he was censored because by the clinton news network.....

The new name at CPAC in now Counterfeit News Network , because of this story.

Gotta keep up

You seem to be OK with it when the left is sliming the protesting kid exactly because he's questioned their authority.

Nobody is doing that, simply pointing out that he's mistaken in what they were asking. Not that he's a crisis actor or getting checks from Koch brothers. And hopefully his parents aren't getting death threats like the other ones.

Kind of like scripting when to show empathy.

Your playing his game... Kid gets on TV and purposefully misrepresents what happened (he could have easily shown the email and explained the question he wanted to ask vs. what CNN wanted him to say instead). People call him out on the lying and the right says he is being SLIMED.

Yes, the kid is worse than a crisis actor. And I think his dad is a horrible person for allowing him to do this and allowing the right to use him this way.

so the beta boy crapped and ran? shocking, simply shocking.
