CNN being accused of scripting question to a survivor...

[imax2268]

So far after seeing it this morning, only right wing sources are running with it all over the internet and social media.

The survivor said that he wanted to ask a question at the town hall but CNN wouldn't let him and gave him scripted a question to ask instead. His father pulled his name and didn't allow him to attend.

It seems suspect to me since the last few days the right has been pushing the "crisis actor" theory, now comes a kid saying that he was not allowed to ask a question but was given a script.

I am not bashing this kid at all, he did a brave thing by helping other students...but something doesn't smell right about this.

Thoughts...?

1. Have they spotted Donna Brazile??? Its more RW lies. "It Can't Happen Here" is right now folks.

2. Maybe they were questions that had already been discussed by someone else?

And perhaps they had some 'suggestions' for questions to insure a lack of redundancy, and it was misunderstood? All pure conjecture, on my part.

6. did a little digging...

found this on Heavy.com...I do believe that there is more to this "scripted questions" story...these pictures seem to be some years old, the rebel flag images are gone but some are still on his FB page...again, I am not bashing this kid, I wouldn't have wanted to be in his shoes when this went down. I think he is a brave kid for helping other students, but I do believe that someone is using him to push the pro-gun and anti CNN agenda...just my opinion...
