THIS is the problem with @NRA lobbyist Dana Loesch being invited to the CNN Town Hall with NO experts to contradict her. She's lying. The NRA opposes closing the background check loophole.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student Colton Haab said he was approached by CNN to ask a question at Wednesday night's town hall but decided not to after the network gave him a "scripted question," quashing one he wrote himself. Haab, a member of the Junior ROTC shielded students while the school was under attack from the shooter, said he was going to ask about using veterans as armed security guards.

"CNN had originally asked me to write a speech and questions and it ended up being all scripted," Haab told WPLG-TV.

CNN aired a town hall on the Florida school shooting with Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Bill Nelson (D-FL) that included NRA's Dana Loesch and Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel that was moderated by Jake Tapper. Students and parents asked questions about gun control and school safety.

EDIT: welllllll
Looks like I shouldn’t have stayed up all night. Sounds like this kid was possessed of an agenda, and CNN explained its response, apparently after I posted this link

UPDATE @8:47AM ET: CNN released a more extensive statement that explained the situation.

In a longer statement, CNN confirmed Haab was invited by the network to participate but his father decided to withdraw his name from participation. CNN said Haab wanted to give an extensive speech and not just ask a question, something the network said the forum was not designed for. CNN noted the subject Haab wanted to address, arming teachers, was discussed at length in the 2-hour long town hall event.

CNN has invited Haab to appear on the network.

Full statement from CNN's 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.

According to a CNN insider Haab wanted to give an extensive speech and not just ask a question, something the network said the forum was not designed for. When the family was told this they decided to pull out of the event. The CNNer also noted the subject Haab wanted to address, arming teachers, was discussed at length in the 2-hour long town hall.

Still standing on lame performance by Tapper, in the face of the outrageous demagoguery by Loesch

4. Incompetent, lazy, faux journalism

Good job, Jake

Loesch seems to have been trying to sell the NRA’s support for a limited “Fix NICS” bill that would reform the existing National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) as holistic support for “making sure that people who are dangerous should not have access to firearms.” (You can read about the Charleston and Virginia Tech failures Loesch is referring to here.)

Neither Loesch’s questioners nor moderator Jake Tapper seemed to have enough information at hand to fully explain why this was a ludicrous claim, but it was; in reality, as you can read on the investigative site The Trace here and here, the NRA has long opposed and sought to limit the passage and administration of background check rules.

In 1993, the New York Times described the passage of the bill that created the NICS waiting period/check system as a “stinging defeat” for the NRA in an article that quoted Wayne LaPierre, who is still a prominent NRA executive. As the writer Ana Marie Cox observes, the NRA’s opposition to expanding the pool of buyers subjected to background checks—and its official belief, contra Loesch, that no background check system can stop dangerous people from obtaining weapons—is stated plainly on its website:

CNN.......To cheap, too lazy, or just unwilling to have real time fact checking available?

Links are there in the article

5. WTF?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/

Dana Loesch, the NRA's brash spokeswoman, dials back the rage at CNN town hall

Can’t link more, but the headline seems to get the story exactly backwards

The monster dialed the hate and disingenuosity up to 11, incompetently monitored by the hapless Tapless

Jake TAPLESS, his new name from now on

A Lot of Gun Owners Really Dislike This NRA Ad
