The quick and dirty: Days before the town hall, Haab told Carlson, CNN’s Carrie Stevenson — executive producer of special projects — contacted him about the event. She asked for just questions that I would like to ask.” The goal of the exercise, Haab discovered, was one question. Stevenson asked Haab what he’d like to address at the town hall, and what questions he wished to pose to politicians. And when they’re not filibustering, they’re repeating the same question asked by the person before them. CNN did not provide or script questions for anyone in last night's town hall, nor have we ever.
