    Do you care to point out what aspect of the report is inaccurate?

    There is no report, it's a review of a CNN piece, then some twitter comments. Solid reporting by Daily Mail reporter.

    You don't read daily mail articles expecting accuracy. It's about the emotion. The feelings. They've never valued accuracy.

    So no, you don't care to read the article you criticise or comment on the subject of that criticism least you be trigged by it and yet you value accuracy over emotion..... yeah

    Thought Michelle was very rude to Melania when she gave her that gift, looked very dismissive of it and didn't acknowledge it whatsoever. She just wanted to put it down.

    It's not an article though. It's some tweets and an interpretation of a CNN piece.

    It's exactly the same as taking quotes from here on today's events and doing a report on it.

    They even added screenshots of the text

    My facebook is flooded with "Goodbye Obama we miss you" posts.

    I've changed my picture to Donald Trump as Pepe the frog.

    Everyone seems to do that nowadays. Even respectable papers. Run a story and then include some twitter posts. It's so fcuking lazy.

    Huh? I didnt criticise the article i criticised the daily mail. I just said they don't really value accuracy. They like to go for the emotional impact.

    Yes that's right
    Michelle Obama is jealous of Melania Trump.
    Because Michelle Obama would LOVE to be married to the odious vile Trump (oh imagine those little hands grabbing you and waking up with a mouthful of that hair, shudder shudder shudder)
    instead of the guy she IS married to.
    And Mrs Obama would LOVE to have Melanias academic qualifications and earning potential
    Instead of the awesome qualifications and earning potential that Mrs Obama has
    And Mrs Obama would LOVE to have 2 ex wives and 4 step children treating her like something they trod in.
    The post I'm quoting must be a candidate for stupid post of the day.
    Please

    Well, I see CNN are covering themselves in glory again as they speculate that a Democrat might become president if somebody were to bomb the inauguration in what reads like a breathy libtard spank bank fantasy... stay classy CNN!

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4137436/CNN-says-Trump-s-death-lead-Democrat-President.html

    And they wonder why Trump ignores questions from their reporters?

    Did you watch the CNN report?

    In order for an Obama appointee to be appointed president, pretty much everyone in Congress would have to be killed in an Inauguration attack - The designated cabinet member who is not allowed to attend the inauguration due to that exact reason would become president. That is what CNN portrayed in their report

    Even then, the Obama appointee would only be president for a very short time because his term in cabinet ends at noon today also. So he still doesn't get a 4 year term. It would likely be a presidency lasting days.

    Such an event at the inauguration would unavoidable result in the CNN reporters themselves getting killed. So The Mail saying such a thing is something that CNN are tying to incite in nonsense. It was in-fact a very interesting and educational report!

    I know Trump wants to have sex with his daughter but I'm pretty certain she'll never be his wife.

    You critisised the Mail to avoid commenting on the substance of what was reported. That's an emotional response that has little interest in substance or accuracy.

    Ah here, why would you be running such a report in the first place? Did they wildly speculate about Obama's assination during his inauguration?


    There's just no denying that this is agitprop with a dash of really creepy wishful thinking. It reminds me of Channel4 Four's hysterical masturbatory fantasies like their 'alt history docu-dramas' such 'The Trial of Tony Blair', or 'Death of a President' about the assassination of George Bush or their laughable one on the 'first 100 days of a UKIP government that ended in Armageddon.
    You wouldn't question the mindset or motivations of people producing such a report, particularly one so elaborate that they kill everybody down to the first Democrat they can find to sit in the Oval office?
    It's at best weird, at worst incitement.

    Christ almighty, why did I even look at that article? CNN were talking about what would happen if the events in 'Designated Survivor' actually took place. It's a current show on Netflix and there's an inauguration happening so it's topical. Most people probably didn't know there was a designated survivor before the show took place and CNN are pointing out that the current one would be a Democrat. Talk about scraping the barrel looking for hysteria…

    Not to mention that they probably also talked about it because there is a tv show with Kiefer Sutherland right now that is about this exact scenario.
    Thinking CNN want this to happen is just dumb as ****.
