Shooting survivors father admits email changes in CNN spat

Source: Tampa Bay Times

Last week's televised town hall on guns and school safety has led to finger-pointing by the father of a Florida school shooting survivor and CNN.

The network says Glenn Haab, the father of Marjory Stoneman Douglas junior Colton Haab, doctored emails to push a claim that the network told his son what to say at the forum. Colton Haab backed out of the Feb. 21 event.

CNN denies scripting any remarks and released an email exchange between a CNN producer and Glenn Haab that it says Glenn Haab altered. The altered email was sent to other news outlets, including Fox News.

Haab acknowledges omitting some words from the email but says he didn't do it on purpose.

4. Haag did it on purpose because he sent the doctored email to Fox and then had his son appear on

Fox to salivating adulation where his son again, live on TV, now on tape, from his own mouth, repeated the lie in the altered email. The doctors email was even shown, I believe.

Since doctoring documents and videos and anything else to change the meaning, even to the opposite meaning, is an entire department at Foxx (emulated recently by Shitler himself, their Dear Leader on the Schiff devastating memo) of course no correction will be forthcoming...or further mention.

Fox is a pox.

8. Funny how he accidentally and inadvertently deleted words in the middle of an e-mail.

I wonder if Fox will run a correction.

Talk about a lack of empathy and morals and decency and I'm sure there's some other stuff. Who could do that to their own child who went through that?

Daddy was paid to cast a shadow on the good work being done by the students.

Maybe he wouldn't say that, but look for the money anyway.

This was a dick move which needs a reason.

Just once I'd like to see them make arguments based on actual truth, but it is not in them.
