Back-To-Back Scandals Roil CNN As Other Liberal Writers Call Them 'Vile, Despicable, Gross' For Targeting Female Trump Supporter For Harassment

CNN is scrambling this week as they are suffering through two self-inflicted scandals that have them in all-out damage control mode. The damaged network is busy issuing denials over being busted for “scripting” their town hall event,  and they are now calling one of the Parkland Florida school shooting survivors a liar, right on the heels of having targeted a  female Trump supporter and doxing her (publicizing her personal information), which has resulted in her being attacked relentlessly by liberals online and offline.

CNN ACCUSED BY FLORIDA SHOOTING SURVIVOR OF ‘SCRIPTING” TOWN HALL EVENT

Colton Haab, the Junior ROTC student that courageously shielded students from an active shooter last Wednesday at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where 17 people were murdered, is accusing CNN of refusing to allow him to offer his commentary and ask his own questions at the town hall they held on Wednesday, stating that instead it “ended up being all scripted.”
 

“CNN had originally asked me to write a speech and questions and it ended up being all scripted,” Haab told WPLG-TV. “I don’t think that it’s going get anything accomplished. It’s not gonna ask the true questions that all the parents and teachers and students have.”

After being informed he would not be able to ask his own questions, nor offer his commentary that CNN originally asked him to write up, Haab chose to pull out from the event.

CNN rushed into damage control mode by issuing two sets of statements. The first said  “CNN did not, and does not, script any questions for town hall meetings, ever.”

That is not exactly true, as CNN has a long history of organizing Democratic plants within their town hall events, as documented by the New York Post.  Remember it was also CNN commentator Donna Brazile that was busted using her position with CNN to give Hillary Clinton prior notice of questions she would be asked during a televised debate.

CNN then offered an expanded statement after Haab’s accusations, via Senior Public Relations Manager at CNN, Richard Hudock:
 

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. 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.

Apparently not understanding the concept of cutting your losses, in a statement to The Daily Caller, CNN’s Vice President of Communications and Digital Partnerships Matt Dornic, not only offered the DC the same two responses, but decided to expand even more, which is where their claims break down.
 

Dornic added the network gave Haab the opportunity to expand on the idea of arming teachers, a topic which was brought up multiple times during the town hall, as opposed to delivering a prepared speech. Haab reportedly declined to reframe his remarks, and his father subsequently prevented him from taking part in the program.

So, they admit they were not going to allow him his “prepared speech,” which wasn’t quite in line with CNN’s gun control agenda, yet as the DC highlights, with video, other participants that were pushing for gun control, were allowed extended time for lengthy statements that went beyond asking questions.
 

In particular, Lori Alhadeff, whose daughter Alyssa was one of the 17 victims who lost their lives in last week’s tragedy, gave a speech while Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel And NRA spokeswoman Dana Loesch sat on stage.

The grieving mother ended her powerful, four-minute-long remarks by asking Loesch, “what is your plan to put things into action? What is your action?” yet Loesch was not given an opportunity to respond by moderator Jake Tapper.

CNN’s agenda is clear and has been for a very long time and their actions in regards to this town hall is simply another example as to why their network has dropped 30 percentage points in ratings over the last year.
