Shooting Survivor Quit CNN Town Hall After Refusing to Ask ‘Scripted’ Question
Breitbart ^ | 21 Feb 2018 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 02/22/2018 6:15:45 AM PST by WisconsinRep

Colton Haab, a student who survived last week’s mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, refused to participate in a CNN Town Hall on Wednesday night after he was told to ask a “scripted” question.

Haab, a junior at the high school, told Fort Lauderdale ABC affiliate WPLG that CNN invited him to speak at the televised town hall in nearby Sunrise, Florida, and that he and his parents had dressed up for the occasion.

But CNN then told Haab he would have to read a question that CNN had prepared for him:

I think I remember the “boxers or briefs” girl saying that she’d wanted to ask a different question but was offered that as an alternative. I could be mistaken.

Funny how the Democrats immediately had legislation ready in the states to push through. It’s almost like they’re rushing before we find out what’s really going on.

CNN is the modern Stephen of Cloyes leading a children’s crusade into socialist slavery and starvation.

But CNN then told Haab he would have to read a question that CNN had prepared for him:


i.e. It’s not news. It is an op-ed video piece with the students there as “usful idiot” props.

It’s fake news.

And this is just another nail in CNN’s coffin.

The CNN calls (demands, actually,) for gun control are perfectly understandable, once we remember that Time/Life owns CNN.

Remember, back in the day, when Time magazine, along with HBO, did their infamous “Death by Gun” article/show, and when Time magazine received outraged mail (real, post office delivered mail,) from subscribers, who told them they were dropping their subscriptions, due to Time’s “yellow journalism,” Time magazine responded with an editorial flatly stating that “gun control was too important an issue to present facts fairly,” and that Time magazine would work to enact their gun control agenda, fact be damned.

I don’t think that anything’s changed in the 40 or so years since Time made that statement.

Oh my goodness, I had to look it up:

The Children’s Crusade was a popular crusade by European Christians to regain the Holy Land from the Muslims, said to have taken place in 1212. The crusaders left areas of Northern France, was led by Stephen of Cloyes, and Germany, led by Nicholas . . .to peacefully convert Muslims in the Holy Land to Christianity, bands of children marching to Italy, and children being sold into slavery.

(repost)
The really BIG ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM is the fact that the American mental health profession has purposely mainstreamed hundreds of rabid, mad-dog, killers-to-be.

Instead of putting these wanna-be monsters in institutions for criminally insane, they pump them full of PROZAC and unleash them to simmer and come to a killing-spree boil.

If the monster had not had a gun, he would have done exactly the same or worse with a car driven at high speed through the same crowd he created with the fire alarm.

While mental health ‘councilors’ go overboard with touchy-feely, feel-good, politically correct jargon like ‘safe zones’ etc. they let murder and mayhem go out into the world freely, without let or hindrance.

The one who ‘medicated’ the monster and let him loose should be HELD ACCOUNTABLE!!!!

Michael Medved was criticizing people making claims of scripted student interviews, as “conspiracy theorists”.

Thanks for helping the left instead of doing your homework Mike.....

Why don’t these people agree to ask the provided question, then stand up and as their original question?

Are CNN goons going to rush out and cut your throat mid question?
