We decided to revisit the package bomb story and do a brief comparison of the Twitter activity surrounding each reported target, both accurate and rumored.
This chart shows the time of first tweet from the first ~20 accounts to tweet about each target. The stories that turned out to be rumors are indicated via a blue background. The erroneous stories spread more slowly than the true ones (with the exception of the White House). 
Retweet networks for the first 500 tweets mentioning each potential bomb. As the story developed throughout the week, the networks grew progressively more cohesive; the first consist of multiple independent conversations whereas the later ones coalesce around a few major sources.
Finally, here are the news sources most frequently linked in Twitter discussion of each bomb/person targeted. Russia Today puts in a major appearance for the first (inaccurate) report of a bomb being sent to Kamala Harris. Gateway Pundit's participation is also interesting. . .
Gateway Pundit jumped on the chance to push the message that Andrew Cuomo had lied about receiving a bomb (he did report receiving a "device", but corrected the claim later). Amusingly, later that same day Gateway Pundit erroneously reported Cuomo as one of the actual targets.
