Not surprisingly, President Trump brought up the handful of bomb threats against Democrats that occurred Wednesday as he rallied for Gov. Scott Walker in Wisconsin Wednesday night. He also called for civility … and went so far as to say that even the media should contribute to a national “civil tone.”
How dare he.

CNN doesn’t take sides though. https://t.co/Jr1mAwYxf9

Nope, reporters never take sides … isn’t that right, Chris Cillizza?
Let me say for the billionth time: Reporters don't root for a side. Period. https://t.co/dhH8eherOR

CNN sure seems upset that Trump didn’t accept any personal responsibility for the national political environment. Then again, they really didn’t have much to say about the riots that took place outside of Trump campaign stops in places like Albuquerque and San Jose either. Yeah, everything was great until the election.
Do you even claim objectivity anymore?

@CNN, still putting their opinion into their news… https://t.co/ueFKyiAZTx

CNN needs to take responsibility for the environment they have cause with their fake news reporting and their constant negative reporting on Trump because their beloved Hillary lost. CNN is the cause of a lot of hostility out there. They need to own that too. #FakeMAGABomber https://t.co/bcGtQ2exBN

You know where we look for civility? At night on CNN, when they bring on a panel of 15 progressives and one conservative who’s actually a progressive and everyone yells at each other. It’s all we have left, now that they kicked Kathy Griffin off their New Year’s Eve spectacular.
He’s not wrong. But this isn’t the media’s fault any more than it is his fault. https://t.co/Kwumzr30Ls

CNN wasn’t done scolding the president yet, though; check this out:

Not a bad point:
Anything Trump does will now include "after bombs were sent to prominent Democrats". https://t.co/Z23JFGUcz3

This approach is a mistake.
