No, CNN didn't script the questions

Sean Hannity, quickly becoming a parody of himself, went nuts with a report on Thursday night claiming that a student dropped out of a CNN Town Hall about guns because CNN was scripting his questions and forcing him to avoid asking about teachers being armed. The teen's father provided Hannity with e-mails proving this was true.

Unfortunately for Hannity (and the truth), the father edited those e-mails. Even Rupert Murcoch's New York Post is reporting that the dad did this.

Hannity still hasn't let his viewers know.

Again, I will point out one of the main differences between the mainstream press and the conservative press. When the mainstream press gets something wrong, they print or announce a retraction. If it's particularly eggregious, people get suspended or fired. They may lean liberal, but they actually are interested in reporting the truth. This is even true of "personalities" on mainstream cable news outlets like CNN or MSNBC, and even the network newscasters. Ask Dan Rather or Brian Williams.

Let's see if Fox News clarifies this report. Want to take any bets?
