CNN denies school shooting town hall was scripted
< < Go Back
CNN has denied scripting questions for Wednesday night’s town hall meeting on gun control and safety with survivors of the Parkland massacre.
The network released a statement on Thursday morning refuting Colton Haab’s allegation.
It read: ‘There is absolutely no truth to this. 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,’ the statement continued.
‘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.’
