CNN’s Drew Griffin: “Survivor Colton Haab Lying“ [PROPAGANDA ALERT]
Breitbart ^ | 2-23-2018 | John Nolte

Posted on 02/25/2018 11:08:27 AM PST by Trump_vs_Evil_Witch

CNN’s Drew Griffin explicitly accused school shooting survivor Colton Haab of lying over the student’s claim that CNN wrote a question for him to recite at the far-left network’s widely criticized anti-gun town hall. On Thursday evening, President Trump tweeted out criticism of CNN’s ongoing fake news crisis with a quote from Fox News’s Tucker Carlson, who interviewed Haab Thursday night.

“‘School shooting survivor says he quit @CNN Town Hall after refusing scripted question.’ @TuckerCarlson,” Trump tweeted, adding, “Just like so much of CNN, Fake News. That’s why their ratings are so bad! MSNBC may be worse.”

This was discussed yesterday. If you look at CNN’s copy versus the one the kid has, you can see very little, basically no difference in that both have CNN telling him that his question is too long for their format. Mind you, others like Hogg and Kansky were apparently allowed to ask longer length questions as they likely more conformed to anti gun Media Party views.

Dear CNN,

You have zero credibility.

CNN also hoped that President Trump would be assassinated and also gave the questions to Hillary Clinton in advance..they also denied that too

So I guess now the gloves are off and we can call little pipsqueaks like Hogg into question...

No matter, CNN has lost all credibility. Remember, their Baghdad bureau had Hussein review all their dispatches before being released.

Maybe CNN can find some more old ladies to harass.

Let’s concede - for the sake of argument - that Haab was either lying, exaggerating, or mistaken. That still doesn’t let CNN off the hook, because the audience was clearly - and deliberately - stacked with anti-gun people, so as to shape the narrative and the outcome.

likely?

No need to use likely when it is known that it was.

In typical liberal/fascist/socialist/totalitarian fashion they exploit these kids who are too traumatized to think straight, though David Hogg's little schtick is wearing out faster than "He was just starting to turn his life around. Mr. Haab wants no part of it. This young man shows a wisdom beyond far his years.

Hogg is aiming to be a pestilence - he's trying to cash in the shooting as a path to politics, fame, fortune, etc., The pathetic irony is that if Obama had called him to be part of his intended Brown Shirt Army, Hog would have shirted up, strapped a hog iron to his hip, and went out looking for Conservatives to use it on...

He and the Left have a symbiotic relationship - each using the other ...

"Let’s concede nothing."

If we let the whole argument revolve around Haab's claims, we weaken our own position, we don't strengthen it. CNN wants to make the argument about Haab, and we shouldn't play into their hands. My point is that - if Haab wasn't even a part of the story - it is still obvious that the whole forum was set up as a mouthpiece for anti-gun forces, not as a fair debate.
