- Glenn Haab, the father of a Parkland, Florida, shooting survivor accused of altering an email exchange with CNN and shopping it to other networks, admits he did edit the emails, but says it wasn't intentional.
- CNN says 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.
- The network has denied scripting any remarks and released the email exchange between the Haabs and a CNN producer last week.
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. The spat led to several conservative website stories accusing CNN of a pro-gun control bias. SEE ALSO: Parkland shooting survivor's family shops doctored emails with CNN to media outlets |
