Colton Haab CNN told me to stick to script

[Dacien]

And I'm sure he has emails or some actual evidence to support this? Specifically the part where he would be able to give said speech during the town hall. Because asking for speech submissions for something like this is like asking folks to submit a cover letter.

Well, Kasky and Lapido sure were given quite a length of time to give what could be described as speeches on gun control, in addition to their questions. Unless they were given the same communication as Haab got and simply went off on lengthy off-script speeches anyway (with the blessing of Tapper in Lapido's case), then there might be an argument to be made that perhaps Haab's speech was decided unfit after being submitted. We don't have enough information on all that.

I knew something was up with this kid when I saw the Tucker interview of him. Tucker Carlson wouldn't even let the kid read his question on Fox. I was expecting CNN to maybe clean up the kids questions grammar maybe, not just cut out his whole rant written by his dad. Guess at this point we shouldn't expect any resemblance of truth from right-wing media.

It's funny how the right attacks these kids for being scripted and they claim the NRA isn't as powerful as the left says they are, but CNN has a great video of LaPierre and Trump talking about guns at "gun free zone" CPAC this year and Trump parroted the NRA talking points word for word. Whose being paid to read a script? Also OT but LOL at the CO2 coalition at CPAC, a conservative group founded to spread the awareness of the benefits of carbon dioxide for humans and the environment. Conservatives truly are the dumbest among us.

So the email chain isn't enough proof for you? What do we need? A video of him writing out the emails?

Proof that fits his narrative. What that means is if the proof doesn't fit his narrative then it isn't proof. So his denial of the proof is in fact proof of his point. So the more he believes the proof isn't real then the more real his "proof" becomes it is basically the ultimate win win for these people.

It isn't really surprising coming from Dacien.

The student, Colton Haab, told Tucker Carlson that he was originally asked to write a speech.

The same student whose family member doctored an email that omitted key information which provided proper context? Gee, that sounds familiar...

I'd say that would be in on position for someone to take, but you have already shown yourself to be someone who wholeheartedly embraces information, regardless of veracity or lack thereof, as long as it supports your narrative. So, really this is just par for the course for you.

You really need to tighten up. This is becoming embarrassing.

[Polyxo]

If I'm not mistaken, the guy in the video seems to be reading from a prompter...

[Milchshake]

Why is it every time people like @szechuan or @Allybeboba come supporting or showing a story that it turns out to be entirely fake.

Fake news is pissing me off too much lately. I have no more patience for this shit.

You missed the melt down thread of 26 pages on GEN-OT. Feels like the board authorities eat these fake news thread up.

[Dontrike]

"His narrative is".

That's his claim. He said as much. I'm not making a positive claim here, I'm telling you what he said. Do we have proof that he's lying? No, we don't. So how can I admit to this all being a huge lie if I don't have evidence of it being so?

Again, there's not enough information.

With the evidence so far what do you need to prove to you that the kid and father are either lying or over exaggerating just to get their 15 minutes? What do you need to sway you, or can you not be swayed and at this point you are just arguing just to argue?

[Antiganon]

It's amazing people act like this is some scandal when all they did was just give him a condensed version of the things he wrote. The Questions were WAY too long.

This.

Each question had a meandering 5 paragraph essay lead in.

As a video editor, I would have cut all that shit in post in a second.

[PACOX]

"We'll just pass of these fake emails, no one will ever know the difference"

CNN counters with the real emails


"Well you see, its feels befores, Tucker. Feels...before reals"

[Adam Jensen]

So let me get this straight:

CNN let Colton ask one question he desired.
Colton wrote down his question.
Father budges in and tries to get Colton to read his 4 page essay.
CNN says "no"

And somehow this is a conspiracy by CNN?

Don't forget the part where they doctored the emails to make CNN seem dishonest, and Trumpkins are now trying to counter with "isn't questioning these kids motives horrible?" and "this is just like calling them crisis actors!". No, its not horrible when they're demonstrably lying pieces of shit.

[Azadina]

His story. The fathers story. Because he can't actually provide evidence of this like he did of the doctored CNN email that CNN fucking provided the full text of to prove the father a fucking liar.

Except we have literally no proof to back up his claim, meanwhile CNN has provided proof to back up theirs and by doing so proven at least the father to be a fucking liar.

So why are you inclined to believe the father who has already established himself to be a brazen liar.

Can someone explain to me how is such even legal? To maliciously forge others emails in attempt to discredit the senders of said emails?

[Bodakane]

So typical of conservatives.

The conservative father scripted his kid's speech and questions, to politicize the tragedy, then accuses CNN of scripting the kid's questions to politicize the tragedy.

More of that same old Conservative Hypocrisy™

[Breccia]

But wait! You thought you had no patience before, wait till Breitbart claims CNN doctored the emails!

It's their leading story right now. You know who else, after seeing the evidence Breitbart claims to have, immediately called out CNN for blatant lying, libel/slander, and a complete failure of ethics?

Absolutely fucking nobody. Not even FOX News.

Because Bretibart's evidence is "we got the original somehow, and you have to take our word for it".

Guess which one Trump's rabid fanbase will believe.

This is fake news, I can tell from some of the pixels, and from seeing quite a few fake news in my day.

Just assume every single Trump voter is always high on meth, it explains a lot.

Same reason many defend MSM sources such as CNN my friend.

Peace

And turns out CNN was right, Colton Haab, made this shit up and even doctored emails to give to Fox News. So, yes, I will defend CNN because they are more credible than Fox News.

Well isn't Meth the drug of choice of dirt poor white towns? So doesn't surprise me at all if this is the presumption you came to.

HOW DARE YOU! How dare you question this poor innocent victim of a terrible mentally ill monster who happened to use a gun but could have used any weapon to kill and injure all those people. You heartless monster, you and all your kind attacking this babe for daring to stand up and call for more guns everywhere. The teachers should be packing and armed ex military guards at every school. This one child is in no way being used by his father to attack Democrats and gun control advocates. Not like those obvious crisis actors calling for TAKING ALL OUR GUNS! I mean obviously every one of those kids that are protesting against gun violence are either Soros Globalist paid crisis actors part of the Socialist conspiracy to disarm the populace so the Hillary controlled Shadow Government can come in and take over America. Implanting more blacks, Mexicans, and Arabs making white people the minority. They then will tear down all the Christian churches building Synagogues and Mosques in their place. Where straight men will be forced to be gay, where Christianity is outlawed, where white women will be forced to mate with non whites, where the rich will have all their hard earned wealth taken by the mob of poor people. This is what those damn crisis actors are doing by trying to take all our guns. So listen to the one victim who is telling the truth and not those obvious crisis actors.
