    Here's an option.

    If you don't like CNN : SHUT IT OFF.

    Weird concept, eh?

    I'm not complaining that I don't like it. I'm pointing out how they use propaganda to get two people to believe stupid things.

    CNN gave Hillary debate questions. They are nothing but a propaganda arm of the DNC.

    Censorious Exploitative Bastards!

    CNN Refused to Allow Florida Shooting Hero Colton Haab to Ask Questions at Town Hall That Didn’t Fit Their Narrative

    [​IMG]

    Though Parkland student Colton Haab is being recognized nationally as a hero, CNN opted to leave him out of Wednesday’s town-hall event on Wednesday evening — because his perspective does not fit the propaganda they have been peddling.

    Haab is the brave cool-headed 17-year-old member of the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps who ushered 60 to 70 people to safety in an open JROTC room during the Parkland school shooting. The high school junior may have saved many lives by using the Kevlar sheets from the marksmanship program to try and protect his peers. His actions were so important that the US Military is currently considering awarding him with a JROTC Medal of Heroism.

    Despite his heroism, the student told the Local 10 News that he was not allowed to ask his prepared questions at the CNN event.

    Haab had been planning to speak on school safety and the possibility of using veterans as armed security guards.

    Haab recently thanked the NRA for their contributions to the JROTC program and said that he believes the tragedy could have been prevented if Coach Aaron Feis had been armed.

    Coach Feis was killed as he used his own body to shield students from the gunman’s bullets.

    “If coach Feis had had his firearm in school that day, I believe that he could have most likely stopped the threat,” Haab told Fox News.

    No, you don't have evidence of lying.

    Haab wanted to read an extensive speech. His father pulled him when CNN declined that, as it didn't fit in with the format of the show where multiple people would contribute by asking questions.

    His father stated that CNN told Colton that the speech was too long and that he would have to stick to asking one question.

    His father told CNN that Colton wouldn't participate unless Colton was allowed to present "extremely relevant" background information.


    That could be considered "scripting" by Colton Haab.

    I'm not accusing him of lying.

    And, you shouldn't, either.

    Has Haab taken CNN up on its offer to have the floor all to himself and speak to a national audience yet?

    Asking for a friend.

    Bull. Bump stocks weren't an issue in this or any other school shooting, and he blocked this stuff until it has started becoming a politically untenable position.

    Yes. Other administrations have failed, too, as the NRA has a significant percent of congress in their pocket.

    OK so your literally changing what Colton is saying in the video. He clearly states that CNN gave him a scripted question.

    He didn't SAY CNN said my question or comments were too long I needed to shorten it.

    So now the leftist narrative is that CNN just told him his question was to long? So read ours?

    I have his words from his mouth. What do you have to support that baseless claim?

    Are you saying Colton Haab is lying? It's not like his words are open to interpretation. Or could mean different things... He says they gave... Him.. A.. Scripted.. Question.


    Your opinion trying to rationalize the impossible is appalling. Delusional.

    I know what he said. But, he doesn't say what he meant by scripting.

    It sounds to me like he felt the SHOW was scripted - that is, the format was selected.

    He wasn't being told to shorten his speech - he was being told that he could ask a question.



    OK - you now need to cite where he was given text by CNN. You've made this specific claim. It has been denied by CNN. And, I've seen no statements from the kid saying he was given text to read.

    Again that is an untruth, there were plenty of homemade signs along with the home made ones. Now on the other hand that high school is in an upscale community so those kind's parents could very well afford to get their kids commercially made signs.

    I thought you said they've already been
    corrupted by money. Seems you already came to that conclusion. Why you criticizing him?

    Oh get real.

    You act like its some shadowy sect secretly running the country when in reality its just an organized channel through which funnels the collective wishes of persons who think the Constitution is something worth fighting for.

    I watched the live coverage from one of these locations and at one point there was an interview taking place and in the background there was a van with a table setup in front with a few boxes of signs that were being passed out.

    Now that was just one location but lets think.

    These are the same kids who, just a few weeks ago, were eating Tide-pods.

    Do you really think they organized that fast without outside help?

    Are we really going to ignore the fact that "organizing" is something these leftist no-gooders invest massive amounts of time, energy, and resources on?

    (For that matter are we going to ignore the alledged Russian bots that were instantly spamming the neveragain **** - for all we know they made it up.)

    The left flat out told us this is exactly what they would be doing, showing up anywhere and everywhere to push their agenda.

    In no way did I imply they are a shadowy sect.

    I believe the NRA is full of it up to its eyeballs, and I totally believe the constitution is something worth fighting for.

    You need to hustle back toward reality.

    I suspect you have no clue who these kids are or how well social media works for organizing.

    That sort of thing would only discredit me with people that I never had any credibility with in the first place so what's your point?

    Do you have a link that would be interesting?

    Russian bots are reportedly showing up on both sides of this. Too bad that we do not have people's voices debating here because I can detect even the most faintest of a Russian accent when they try to speak English. When I was active on Fache Book I could tell who the likely Russian trolls were because the Russians did not know American slang .
    They are technically good at writing In English so they must be well trained at the Tavarish Gorky Troll College.

    Would it be too much to ask that you have a single oiece of actual evidence before impugning a group of high school students who just survived a horrific experience?
