A Straight Up Lie: Hey CNN, You Know Who Else Didn't Take Questions On His First Trip To China?
CNN straight up lied while covering President Trump’s trip to Asia. The president is currently in China, where he did not take questions from the press. The network’s White House reporter, Jeremy Diamond, tweeted, “Trump just became the first US president since George H.W. Bush to not take questions from reporters alongside his Chinese counterpart on his first visit here. Clinton, G.W. Bush & Obama all made a point of doing it.”

Yeah, you know who else didn’t take questions during his trip to China? Barack Obama—a point that Diamond, to his credit, corrected. In 2014, then-President Obama also didn’t take questions with his Chinese counterpart. So, there’s nothing to see here (again). CNN, and the rest of the elite media, also had some trouble properly reporting Trump feeding koi fish with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe during that part of the Asia trip. Trump was mocked for supposedly just dumping the food into the koi pond, but then there’s this [emphasis mine]
President Donald Trump took a moment out of his whirlwind Japanese trip to connect with nature and feed some fish, but after a few delicate scoops, he resorted to a grand gesture met with some laughter.
The moment happened as Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe headed to lunch. The leaders were escorted to a dining room that overlooks a koi pond at Akasaka Palace.
Moments later, aides opened two large screen doors and the leaders emerged holding two small wooden boxes filled with fish food.
As an aide clapped loudly, Abe and Trump tossed spoonfuls of fish food into the pond. Then, with a look of enjoyment, Trump quickly poured his entire box of food into the pond.
The move got Trump some laughs, and a smile from Abe, who actually appeared to dump out his box of food ahead of Trump.

Was it the Chinese who insisted on no questions?
No matter CNN did it again!
CNN. The home of manufactured outrage.
Well at least the Chinese have enough respect for him to bring out boarding stairs for Trump to deplane AF 1 unlike what they did to obama. Maybe tge Chinese are really racist white supremacists in disguise?
Isn't everyone? /sar (for the liberals)
Did Trump dump his whole box of fish food into the pond or not? If he did , that is a FACT, not fake news.
What you are inartfully and unsuccessfully trying to do is claim that the media made something up about Trump. What they actually may have done is selectively report the actions of Abe and Trump by the pond.
FAKE NEWS is claiming that Hillary's doctor wrote a medical report saying she was medically unfit to be president , or that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. That is fake news. The fish food story is not.
"Fake news" is telling the American people that Trump colluded with the Russians - and that has been going on for over a year 24/7. The perpetrators were The Washington Post, The New York Times, MSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, Mother Jones, Media Matters and Salon.
