Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity Retract Claim That CNN Gave ‘Scripted Question’ to Shooting Survivor

Fox News is backing down from a story that said CNN gave scripted questions to Colton Haab, a student who survived the massacre in Parkland, Florida during its town hall discussion of gun violence in America last week.
On their respective shows Tuesday evening, Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity backed away from the story after news emerged that Haab’s father had doctored emails and removed key phrases that served to incriminate CNN.
“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 Tucker Carlson about 15 minutes into his show.
Toward the end of his show, Hannity’s remarks were even briefer. “What Haab told all news outlets last week was inaccurate. Our job is always to strive for the t***h and we want to correct the record.”

Nice to see a few seconds of honesty on their shows but too bad the right-leaning father thought it was okay to lie in the face of this tragedy and went straight to Fox News with his fabrication.

Fox News is a dedicated arm of the Republican Party and Trump in particular.
