Anybody who watched CNN’s town-hall meeting on gun control could easily tell the entire affair was designed to push a certain agenda. The crowd was stacked and the viewpoint was singular in nature – ban all the guns!

The questions may have also been stacked.

Colton Haab, a member of the Junior ROTC credited with shielding students during the Parkland, Florida, school shooting, accused CNN of scripting questions for students.

Haab even went so far as to name the producer who told him to “stick to the script.”

“Originally, I had thought that it was going to be more of my own question and my own say. And then it turned out to be more of just a script,” he said. “And [the producer] had actually said that over the phone, that I needed to stick to the script.”

CNN denies the allegation, but a track record of doing the very same thing in other town halls and news coverage may come back to haunt them.
