Do you think FOX News is a less biased source of info. Compare the reporting of the fact that Trump lied about having read the letter. Here's how that little fact was covered by CNN and Fox.
CNN: Trump quote to reporters:
"That letter was a very nice letter. Oh, would you like to see what was in that letter. How much? How much?" Trump teased reporters after his meeting.
Minutes later, he breezily acknowledged he hadn't read it.
"I haven't seen the letter yet. I purposely didn't open the letter," Trump said (by 4 p.m. ET the White House had confirmed he'd read the note).
And Fox completely fails to mention Trumps lie at all, as if he never said it.
"He called Friday's meeting with North Korea's Kim Yong Chol a "great start." Trump confirmed that the visiting official gave him a personal letter from dictator Kim Jong Un, though he hadn't yet read it."
Gee, I wonder why Fox left off that detail? Hmmm.

LTC (Join to see) I did years in Korea and attended some classes at Yongsai Univ. In Korean culture, when you receive a gift or something like this letter from the Dear Leader, it is RUDE to open it in front of the giver. So, if POTUS had opened it, you would have seen lots of channels saying he failed to to understand the culture of opening packages. It would have been seen as a culture failure...we do not have enough cleared Korean cultural specialist. It is hard to run foreign policy or intelligence without understanding the target country. My hat is off to the Korea culture adviser from State or CIA. Good work and good advise to our POTUS.
