One of the survivors of the Parkland shooting says he refused to attend a town hall event put on by CNN, because they wanted him to ask a scripted question.
17-year-old Colton Haab was invited by the network to ask a question during Wednesday night’s event in Sunrise, Florida.
Haab’s initially wanted to ask a question about using veterans as armed security guards at schools.
However, the high school said the mainstream media outlet rejected his prepared remarks and provided him with scripted questions, which he did not want to ask.
“CNN had originally asked me to write a speech and questions, and it ended up being all scripted,” said Haab.”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.”
Students who attended the event told local media they felt what was said in the event was “politics as usual,” and didn’t hear as much as they wanted to in terms of solutions or policy proposals.

I learned years back when being interviewed by media to be VERY wary of their questions.

There were things I could not discuss about cases, because conclusions had not been reached.
Media wants an agent to SPECULATE, just to make headlines.

I would not do that! I was misquoted ONCE and a Two-Star Admiral was furious!
Thank heaven for recorded phone calls!

I never gave an interview again without Public Affairs right by my side.

UPDATE: After further investigation, Tucker Carlson announced there is no evidence that CNN tried to give a student a scripted question.

"For the sake of honesty and full disclosure to which we are committed, we have to tell you there is no evidence as of right now that CNN tried to give Colton Haab a scripted question, and we wanted you to know that," he said on Tuesday's broadcast.
