Is a thing about FAKE news is its uncanny ability to not only control the answers that are given but also the questions that are asked?

thats true

Fake news doesn't control anything.
It fools a few (of the people who don't know how to check facts) for a short time,
and when the evidence of the fakery is revealed, they either accept it, 
or deny it because they'd rather believe an idea that agrees with their worldview,
than face a reality that disturbs their preconceptions.

Have you been watching CNN again?
I assume you are talking about the town hall with the FL shooting survivers, the Sheriff with do nothing deputies, Rubio and NRA Spokeswoman Dana ?. 

I seen where a student claimed CNN scripted the questions, so he decided not to participate. 

I think more people are becoming aware that they need to check more than their favorite, biased news source.  It can be frustrating getting a clear and truthful story on just about anything.
