Fortunately, everyone at CNN is safe following the earlier bomb threat:
Time Warner Center in NYC has reopened and personnel being allowed back in the building.

Which means, of course, that Jeff Zucker can get back to business … the business of blaming Donald Trump for everything:

Both Donald Trump and Sarah Sanders have categorically condemned the threats:

This is an ongoing situation that President Trump and his admin are monitoring closely. Our condemnation of these dispicable acts certainly includes threats made to CNN as well as current or former public servants. These cowardly acts are unacceptable and wont be tolerated. https://t.co/YbMbCUWMPC

But narrative. Right, Jeff?
This is helpful. https://t.co/a6nGJC5fgu

Nobody in media was targeted. The package was addressed to Brennan.

So we're not just going to criticize immoral rhetoric, we're going to actually blame it for acts of violence without evidence of connection. That's some news operation, CNN. https://t.co/2xP9IqvoEc

Zucker’s criticisms are especially fun considering all the work he did to get Donald Trump into the White House.
Don't like the monster you helped create, Zuck?

Flashback:
Great move by CNN if they sign Jeff Zucker. He was responsible for me and The Apprentice on NBC—became #1 show!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 29, 2012
But, Zucker’s learned a lot since then. Namely, how to preside over a network that’s bleeding credibility. Hard to blame CNN for their garbage journalism when they’ve got a guy like Jeff Zucker steering their ship.
I'm looking forward to future lectures from CNN on how irresponsible it is to speculate about motives before facts are known.
— BT (@back_ttys) October 24, 2018
We can’t wait.
We don’t even know who the perpetrators are or what their motives were. This is partly why so many of us hate and distrust the media. This, right here. https://t.co/PXLNWLhMm3
