I can't think of anything more disguting and reprehensible. Is there anything to make me think that CNN does not WANT Donald Trump dead?
CNN Prophesizes Trump, Pence Getting Assassinated During Inauguration
Sputnik,
19 January, 2017
In an unbelievably brazen and somewhat unnerving report, CNN decided to openly brainstorm what would happen if President-elect Donald Trump and Vice-President-elect Mike Pence were assassinated at Friday's inauguration ceremony. Their conclusion? That a member of the Obama cabinet would be selected to take over as president.
Discussing
the list of precautions which have been taken to ensure the
President-elect's security at his swearing-in ceremony, CNN
contributor Brian Todd's bizarre report pondered
just "who would be in charge if an attack hit the incoming
president, vice-president, and Congressional leaders just as the
transfer of power is underway."
"According
to the Constitution," Todd said, "if the president and
vice president are killed or incapacitated, next in line is the
House Speaker, then the President Pro Tempore of the Senate."
"But
what if something happened to them at the inauguration,
too?" he asked. "After that, it goes down the list
of cabinet secretaries, starting with secretary of state.
On the day of the inauguration, as a precaution, a cabinet
secretary called the 'designated presidential successor' will not
attend the inauguration, ready to step in if something
happens."
"But
it won't be a Trump cabinet secretary, since none of them
have been confirmed yet. It will be an Obama appointee," Todd
noted. "No word from the White House on who that will
be on Friday."
Bizarre
in and of itself, Todd's report was prefaced by anchor
Wolf Blitzer, who uncomfortably led into the story
by dramatically asking "What if an incoming president and
his immediate successors were wiped out on day one?"
Speaking
to the news network, a legal expert emphasized that "you
might actually end up with a president from the prior
administration because of a tragedy." This person, the
expert said, could even be someone as obscure as an acting
secretary of state, since Secretary of State John
Kerry is expected to resign by noon on Friday.
"The
uncertainty creates the potential for chaos, high theater, or a
hit tv drama," Todd facetiously added, before playing
scenes from the 2016 ABC drama 'Designated Survivor', which is
based on a scenario where the President and key members
of Congress are killed in a terror attack.
The
network's curious report prompted outrage on social media, and
in the video's YouTube comments section, with users
suggesting that CNN was trying to incite a presidential
assassination.
"Totally
not suggesting anything here, huh CNN?" one user asked. "LOL.
Nothing is going to happen. Why so much death and negatives
around Trump?" another pondered.
Others
simply flagged the video, which was massively downvoted, saying that
in light of repeated death threats against the
President-elect in recent weeks and months, the report could be
said to "incite violence," which is against YouTube's
terms of service.
Others
still noted that the report was simply "idiotic." Obviously
the White House wouldn't reveal who the designated survivor was,
sharp-witted users said, since their identity would need to be
kept secret to prevent any would-be terrorist from trying
to take out the entire government.
CNN
wasn't the only one to dabble in irresponsible journalism
ahead of Friday's inauguration ceremony. On Thursday, NBC's
Today reported that
the US Secret Service is setting up countermeasures to prevent
possible terror attacks by tiny radar-resistant drones carrying
improvised explosive devices.
Pumping
up the threat of the weaponized bomb-carrying drones, Today
reporter Kerry Sanders emphasized that the drones were "fast,
nimble, and because they're plastic — stealth," making
them "a worst case scenario, especially with hundreds
of thousands of people all gathered in one spot,
like at the inauguration…"
Pointing
to the regular use of weaponized drones by Daesh
in Iraq, a drone countermeasure expert told Today that the
inauguration would "not something I would feel safe at."
CNN
imagines assassination of Donald Trump and Mike Pence

Just
when you thought CNN couldn't get any worse....
CNN
have hit a new low. They have gone from a pro-Clinton mouthpiece to a
fake news stalwart, and now they have devolved into a vulgar
conspiracy minded ‘piece of garbage’.
That
last epithet is of course what Donald Trump assigned to fake news
outlet Buzzfeed.
CNN
has just done a show fantasising
about a mass assassination/terror attack during Donald Trump’s
inauguration.
Like
school-boy scoundrels, they imagined what might happen if Donald
Trump, Mike Pence, The Speaker of the House of Representatives and
the Pro-Tem Senate leader, were all murdered in a massive attack.
They
then described how in the event of such an ungodly event it would be
Obama’s cabinet members who would be in-line to become President.
Let
me explain my disgust.
Firstly,
fantasising about the murder of leaders is deplorable. Never in the
height of the Cold War would any proper American media outlet have
fantasised about ‘what are the possibilities of Brezhnev being
assassinated’. Nor in the USSR would Nu Pogodi have been
interrupted for a special broadcast about ‘The top 10 ways to
murder Richard Nixon’.
CNN
has hit really hit rock bottom. Not content to have been an open
Clinton propaganda mouth-piece, their reporters now indulge
themselves with fantasies of a terrorist attack or worse could take
the lives of American representatives of all parties.
As
someone who is familiar with RT’s programming, I know that RT would
never dare to do such a thing. I am also confident that if RT’s
sensible editorial staff were to go insane and decided to do
something like that, everyone in the West would round on them for
doing so.
For
CNN to engage in such a fantasy less than 24 hours prior to the
inauguration of a democratically elected US President is beyond
wrong.
For
the record, I am a Trump supporter, but time and time again during
the campaign I wished Hillary Clinton personally well when she seemed
to be struggling with health problems.
My
conscience is clear. Is yours CNN?
And
then there’s this!
Donald Trump is a one-man basket of deplorables. He is a braggart and a liar. He is a bully and a demagogue. He is an ignoramus and a deadbeat, a chiseler and either a sincere racist or an insincere one, and his love for himself is matched only by my loathing of him. He is about to be president of the United States. A constitutional coup may be in the offing.
Since
winning the election, Trump has not moderated his behavior. He still
behaves like a brat — his childish tweet zinging Arnold
Schwarzenegger for failing to get Trumpian ratings on “The New
Celebrity Apprentice” being the most amusing example. Many of the
others were just plain lies, the most serious being his earlier
troubling statements regarding Russian efforts to affect the
election. As always, Trump made this about himself — not, as it
should be, about a foreign power meddling in our democracy......
CNN Claims Its Credibility is Higher Than Ever After Being Caught Publishing ‘Fake News’

In
an incredulous comment, CNN President Jeff Zucker told New York
Magazine that the network’s “credibility
is higher than ever.”
This
comes after CNN released a non-vetted report on president-elect
Donald Trump suggesting that the Russian government was blackmailing
him for financial and personal reasons. That report is now known to
be fake, and was allegedly created by an ex-MI6 agent Christopher
Steele,
and then promoted by 4chan.
This resulted
in Trump blasting CNN as “Fake News,” and shutting
down one
of their reporters when he questioned Trump.
“Your organization is terrible… No… I’m not going to give you a question. You are FAKE NEWS!” Trump said.
Hold
on, isn’t this the same CNN that has a habit of cutting its feed
during confrontational interviews and blaming it on satellite issues?
The
same network whose analyst—Donna Brazile—became the interim DNC
chairperson, and then gave debate questions to the Clinton campaign
ahead of the debate?
CNN’s
credibility is also under high scrutiny by much of the public
for its biased coverage and sensational reporting.
Zucker
feels differently though, and is living in a fantasy world. It has
been eight months since Trump has done an interview with CNN, and
Zucker still seemed convinced that the next president would give in
to the network once he realizes its impact.
“It doesn’t worry me that Donald Trump hasn’t done an interview with CNN in eight months. One of the things I think this administration hasn’t figured out yet is that there’s only one television network that is seen in Beijing, Moscow, Seoul, Tokyo, Pyongyang, Baghdad, Tehran and Damascus — and that’s CNN. The perception of Donald Trump in capitals around the world is shaped, in many ways, by CNN. Continuing to have an adversarial relationship with that network is a mistake.”
However,
it remains to be seen whether Trump will extend press access to CNN,
or whether he will give more access to alternative media journalists
and bloggers.
CNN
was also named the “least
trusted network among its viewers” earlier
this month. According
to a
poll from Rasmussen Reports, when viewer were asked if they
trust the political news they are getting from the mainstream media
networks, 50 percent of Fox views, 43 percent of MSNBC viewers and
just 33 percent of CNN viewers said they trust their political news.
I will leave the final word to Vladimir Putin
