CNN is now jumping the shark with irresponsible chyrons in order to blame Trump for the ‘mail bomber’.
Here’s a screenshot of their despicable chyron:
We don’t even know who the ‘mail bomber’ is and CNN is already blaming Trump! They’ve been doing it all day, but this is absolutely the worst chyron we’ve seen on the network.
They don’t even care anymore that what they are doing is irresponsible. They are at war with Trump and are now willing to say anything not matter how ridiculous to make him look bad.
The ironic thing is that Jake Tapper was just defending his network against accusations that they were already blaming Trump for these ‘bomb devices’:
Actually, the very first thing CNN was evacuate our NYC offices because of a bomb threat.

And I didn’t hear one CNN employee on TV or privately accuse anyone other than the bomber/s of being responsible for the devices. Not one. https://t.co/Q9w7C26wZ5
Benny Johnson has documented a few instances directly from CNN of them blaming Trump, starting with Jeff Zucker:
Let's start with the first official CNN statement about the bomb-looking devices.
It blatantly blames Trump for the bombings.

Check this out Mr. Tapper,
Here is a literal chyron from your network calling the bomb victims "TRUMP'S TARGETS."
How can any serious journalist defend this unfounded qualification? pic.twitter.com/6HDu7DiI8Z— Benny (@bennyjohnson) October 25, 2018
CNN has been calling the recipients of these ‘mail bombs’ Trump’s targets all day long. There are more examples of this but I think this makes the point that they are officially at war with Trump, throwing everything they’ve got at him, including apples and bananas.
