CNN released emails from a network producer on Friday that contradict a Florida high school student's claim that the network scripted a question that he was supposed to ask at a televised town hall event this week.

Colton Haab, a survivor of last week's mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., said Thursday on Fox News that CNN had initially asked him to "write a speech and ask questions” for the event but that a producer ultimately scripted a question for him. CNN has denied that claim.

In a 2017 CNBC interview, Warren Buffett argued that a cut in corporate federal tax rates wasn't necessary. "We [at Berkshire Hathaway] have a lot of businesses," he said. "I don't think any of them are non-competitive in the world because of the corporate tax rate." Buffett has made many other statements over the years in which he has denigrated the idea that federal corporate tax rates matter when making corporate decisions.

Now comes strong evidence, in the form of the recent bonus payouts (and their timing) to rank-and-file workers employed by America’s largest corporations, that Buffett’s assertion is completely wrong.
