Colton Haab, a Junior ROTC student and survivor of the school shooting in Parkland, Fla. last week, said he going to participate in the CNN town hall Wednesday night, but decided not to when he said the network provided him with a list of “scripted questions.”

"I expected to be able to ask my questions and give my opinions on my questions," Haab said told a local ABC affiliate, WPLG-TV. "CNN had originally asked me to write a speech and questions, and it ended up being all scripted."

Haab said he was asked to prepare a speech and some questions, and he was planning to ask about school safety, and the possibility of using veterans as armed security guards in schools, but was rejected by CNN. After being told he had to ask a scripted question, Haab decided not to attend the town hall.

"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,” Haab said.

CNN is notorious for managing their events.  They are as scripted as the communist party congresses of the old Soviet Union and present day China.  Or, a Stalin lead show trial.

They all are notorious for "managing" their events. From altering 911 tapes to giving hilliary debate questions in advance. And what happens to them? Nothing. "Oops, our bad, tee hee", and that's it.
