But there are some that will always believe that because it was said to be so and they want to believe it.

This sums up the 24/7 "Facebook/Blog news" that has become the de facto source of information in this country. fog

You do have to admit its much better information than from what a great scholar and VP candidate likes to call the lamestream media.

Yeah... saw that. Apparently the father who claimed CNN was trying to script it, had edited the emails to make it look like that?

I think there's an irony to falsifying your emails in order to prove that the mainstream media is "fake news"....

I'm not sure if that was his intent or not. Who knows. But it wasn't scripted which was obvious if you watched it. Folks just want to discredit it and the kids rather than being substantive.

There's both emails...

It wasn't a large change... and he claims he did it to support his son's claim that they were "scripted".

Apparently it was in response to their (the father and son) request that they be allowed to make a 700 word prepared speech and 3 questions. CNN said "no" stick to the one question you submitted.... they got upset and claimed the entire thing is scripted...

And of course, our orange turd-blossom weighed in immediately:
Donald J. Trump

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

Anyone think he's going to walk that back? Anyone? Beuller?

I will give ol tucks his due here:

""The Haab family concedes that they did remove a line from one of their emails in a way that might make some think its meaning had changed. Colton’s father said it was accidental. We don’t know. We can’t prove or disprove that. But for the sake of honesty and full disclosure – to which we are committed – we have to tell you there is no evidence as of right now that CNN tried to give Colton Haab a scripted question. And we wanted you to know that," said Carlson."
