When President Donald Trump visited Asia, the Main Stream Media outlets went out of their way to make sure President Trump looked super rude to his hosts. First, they made fun of him for eating a hamburger. Then CNN had a tremendous scoop — about the unbelievably childish way the President fed koi fish.

It is a Japanese tradition for foreign dignitaries to feed koi at Akasaka Palace, so Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe stood above the water and spooned food from two wooden boxes. Here’s the video CNN posted:

Wow. That sure looks like the President got impatient and dumped the whole box into the water, doesn’t it? Well, that’s what the network wanted you to believe. (And, in fact, people on social media were quick to jump on our President’s lack of fish feeding manners.)

Then, the entire video emerged, one that wasn’t deceptively edited:

If any of the major networks would just find the fortitude to play it down the middle, they would dominate the American news business. But instead, they play “gotcha,” and invent fake news stories about bad fish feeding etiquette.

If the media is so desperate to attack Trump that they have to invent a fish feeding scandal in Japan, why would anyone trust them with anything more serious? The dishonesty has reached such absurd levels that no one can, or should trust anything the media says… about anything. This is not healthy for our system of governance.

Where are the adults in media today?
