'Both Cuomo brothers have amassed massive power and influence, while betraying public trust. And both brothers must go'

Journalist Laura Bassett wrote Tuesday for MSNBC that CNN host Chris Cuomo "should resign from covering politics or be fired" over advising his brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D., on responding to the sexual harassment charges against him.
The call to oust another liberal primetime host in Cuomo followed New York Attorney General Letitia James' investigation detailing multiple instances of sexual harassment by Gov. Cuomo. The explosive report included information about the younger Cuomo working behind the scenes to help his brother respond to the allegations.
"Given this information, Andrew Cuomo should resign immediately or be impeached," Bassett wrote. "His brother, too, should resign from covering politics or be fired. It’s extremely inappropriate and unethical for a journalist to advise and craft the statements of a politician, regardless of family relation."

Bassett's complaints about MSNBC's Chris Matthews' sexist language toward her led to his abrupt retirement last year.
The younger Cuomo admitted in May he had offered advice to his brother following a Washington Post report on his involvement. He said it was a "mistake" and apologized while denying that he tried to influence CNN's coverage of the story.
Bassett pointed out past instances when CNN's Cuomo had no trouble covering his older brother.


"Chris Cuomo has interviewed his brother on CNN multiple times about the elder Cuomo’s coronavirus response, as scores of New Yorkers were dying in a pandemic; Albany is part of his beat," Bassett wrote. "In one interview, Chris Cuomo told Andrew Cuomo he is ‘the best politician in the country.’"

"The anchor’s attempt at a journalistic compromise was to abstain from interviewing his brother about the sexual harassment scandal. But both men’s careers have benefited greatly from their cheeky, high-profile, softball interviews during a very dark time in the nation’s history," she added. "And viewers were largely unaware of the role Chris Cuomo was playing to help his brother behind the scenes."
Bassett claimed that "fair reporting and scrutiny" of Gov. Cuomo during the time he was "lionized" by the media early in the pandemic could have been a "game changer" when it came to the nursing home scandal. Cuomo's team is accused of covered up thousands of coronavirus deaths in nursing homes, which critics charge was a result of his directive mandating nursing homes accept COVID-positive patients.

"New Yorkers deserve better than a lying, harassing, misogynistic creep presiding over the state. And CNN’s viewers deserve better than a news anchor who is working on behalf of a politician he covers and helps to manipulate public opinion of him," she wrote. "Both Cuomo brothers have amassed massive power and influence, while betraying public trust. And both brothers must go."




My, My - when teh marxist DPSTs LSM organ feeds on its own nomenklatura - there is a meaning
Likely - Kathleen Courtney Hochul- Lt. govrenor and next in line for the NY Throne - is an even more radical marxist revolutionary to take cuomo's place.

the marxist revolutionary DPST machine care not of individuals - only their marxist Soviet system they seek to impose.

Individual freedoms - will vanish as dust in the wind under marxist DPST tyranny.



from my cold dead hands!

Oh, I love me some left on left pearl-clutching and handwringing that is masturbatory and will see absolutely nothing come of it.

Rachel madcow can swallow for them.

Don Lemon, who follows Chris Cuomo, who was told by his boss at CNN that as a prime time news anchor, he may not talk about the biggest story of the day, Lemon, who gets a few seconds to chat with his best buddy Chris, says "I love you brother", Chris says "I love you too brother" and Lemon leads with the call of what looks like every Democrat in New York and possibly the country, calling on Andrew Cuomo to resign or be impeached.


If you watch Fox news, they have this collage they put together of all the late night media people and celebrities, all fawning over Andrew when he was at the height of his popularity, you know, that time period when he was literally causing the deaths of thousands of elderly New Yorker's by subjecting them to positive Covid patients much like Joe Biden is doing by allowing thousands of Covid positive illegal immigrants into the country now that I think about it. Then they show the collage of these same CNN and late night media people proclaiming their love and respect for Michael Avanati who many proclaimed would be the next President of the United States and what a good one he would be.


I don't know why but I never get tired of seeing those two montages.

With the Godfather theme playing
