"SNIP.......

The father of a Parkland high-school shooting survivor admitted that he doctored emails, making it appear as though CNN tried to script his son’s questions for a town-hall event the network hosted last week. Glenn Haab claimed he did not doctor the emails on purpose, but admitted to removing a few words when shopping it around for press. The omission of those words made it appear as though CNN was pushing back on a request for his son to ask his own question. Fox News ran a story about the emails, and President Donald Trump tweeted about the matter—both openly suggesting CNN wanted to avoid letting Haab deviate from a pro-gun-control narrative.

Right wingers are not interested in facts.

Did CNN release the original emails ?
Is that why he copped to it ?

Oh look, another fucking moron.

[maxrandb]

35. Want to guess if he's a deplorable?

That's what we're up against.

These folks would use their own fucking children to push this disgusting CONservative agenda that is crippling America.

Deplorable?????? That's too nice a description of these folks.

It's a fucking cult... and it's going to get uglier long before it gets better.

Reach out to these asshats??

Don't think so

[Maggiemayhem]

37. This is beyond deplorable but I never believed his story in the first place

Why couldn’t he let his son be the hero he was and not try to get his 15 minutes of fame from the blood of his slain classmates? This is so despicable behavior and he exhibited no respect for the mourners.

[poboy2]

39. He is actively and knowingly doing HARM to the victims and community.

Lying and manipulating them is bad, but he is also attempting to erode trust in the press.
A press that was only trying to get their story out. Deplorable SOB.

42. Another article-

Associated Press
By BOB ELLER, Associated Press

Dozens of conservative websites called the network's Feb. 21 town hall forum scripted after Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School junior Colton Haab skipped the event and said the network had told him what question to ask. The websites call it proof the forum was slanted against gun rights. President Donald Trump tweeted about it on Friday, saying "Just like so much of CNN, Fake News!"

CNN countered with a release of email exchanges between producer Carrie Stevenson, Colton Haab and his father Glenn and accused Glenn Haab of deliberately altering email sent to Fox News and the Huffington Post.

"It is unfortunate that an effort to discredit CNN and the town hall with doctored emails has taken any attention away from the purpose of the event," the network said in a statement.

Glenn Haab told The Associated Press he omitted some words from the email but said he didn't do it on purpose.

"There was nothing malicious behind it," he said.

In one exchange, 17-year-old Colton Haab proposes several questions to ask at the town hall, including one on whether to arm teachers. His father, a Republican gun owner, later emailed Stevenson a four-page document with a roughly 700-word speech and a series of questions he said Colton wanted to ask.

Stevenson told the father the additional language he proposed was "way too long" and Colton would need to stick to the question "that he submitted." The words "that he submitted" were left off the email sent to Fox News and Huffington Post.

CNN said Stevenson had discussed which one of Colton's several questions to ask at the forum and they mutually agreed on one using his own words and a statement he made during another television appearance.
