“There is absolutely no truth,” to Haab’s claim, CNN’s Vice President of Communications and Digital Partnerships Matt Dornic told TheDC. “CNN did not provide or script questions for anyone in last night’s town hall, nor have we ever.” “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. Colton’s 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.”So, they're basically calling Haab a liar. They're doing it gently, but that's what they're doing. The problem with that is that several of the people who did ask questions were allowed to offer long, pointed, remarks. One grieving mother - who had appeared on CNN earlier in the week – spoke for four minutes before she asked NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch a seemingly-rhetorical question. ...And Loesch was not offered a chance to respond.
