Now that everyone at CNN has gotten the all-clear to get back to doing what they do, Brian Stelter is free to practice the Real Journalism we’ve come to expect from him:
Stelter on CNN just said, basically "we don't know any motives so people should be careful" and then proceeded to launch into a diatribe about how the recipients have all been targets of horrible RW rhetoric.

And now he and Cuomo are going on and on about Trump's rhetoric against CNN.

Watch for yourselves:
There's a lot we don't know about these packages, but we do know what all the targets had in common: They have all been criticized mercilessly by right-wing outlets… pic.twitter.com/UKIw8hxs9b

Very slick, Brian.
My favorite is the inevitable moment he scolds those who demonize the media and then CNN does three hours straight on how Murdoch-owned properties are fascist propagandists https://t.co/nUoKj1zxjJ

This … is CNN.
Did @brianstelter not get the memo from his boss before preaching about jumping to conclusions? https://t.co/hR6BiqxEKq

Which memo? The one in which Jeff Zucker blames Donald Trump and Sarah Sanders for the bomb threats despite having no information as to who’s actually behind them?
So… why was Pelosi spared? Schumer?
You’re a clown. https://t.co/RAnJJ4wxyK

This is dangerous.
Is CNN going to be responsible if someone hurts Trump or any other Republican in his administration that is so frequently criticized on CNN? https://t.co/sKYWpVUDF1

I'm not saying who's "responsible," I'm pointing out the commonality.

It’s pretty clear what you’re doing, Brian.
This is pretty much Stelter's M.O. on absolutely everything.
Basically,
"bookend frothing-partisanship with reasonable sounding caveats"
Then, when called on it, do this, "(gasp!) Who, Me!?" shtick

According to our own reliable sources, Brian Stelter is a garbage journalist.
With all due respect, @brianstelter, you are frequently criticizing Trump & his administration. CNN also has millions of viewers. Does that make you responsible if God forbid something should happen to Trump or a member of his administration?
We would never suggest that. https://t.co/sKYWpVUDF1

We’re not Brian Stelter. Thank goodness.
