As much as it pains me to give this man his due when called for, which isn't often, he got this one right.

Cuomo Defends Trump against ‘Unprofessional’ and ‘Really Biased’ Media



New York governor Andrew Cuomo criticized media treatment of President Trump, in a Monday interview on the Albany-based WAMC.



Cuomo said reporters had adopted a “nastier tone” and “disrespect that never existed” toward politicians.
“The way they question President Trump at some of these press conferences is just—I’ve never heard that tone with the president,” Cuomo said. “There are reporters who just are unprofessional, don’t know the facts and ask really biased questions….You want to say ‘well I don’t like the president and I disrespect him,’ I know but it’s still the office of the president.”
Then there is this, more truth.

‘The NYPD and the Mayor Did Not Do Their Job’: Cuomo Slams NYC Response to Riots, Floats ‘Displacing’ De Blasio



Governor Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday criticized New York mayor Bill de Blasio and the NYPD over their response to the nightly riots that have sprung up in the city over the killing of George Floyd.
“The police in New York City were not effective at doing their job last night. Period,” Cuomo said at a press conference. “They have to do a better job.”
The governor told reporters that all upstate cities that saw demonstrations managed to contain them, while only New York City saw riots get out of hand.
“The curfews are designed to help the police…NYC had a curfew last night, obviously it wasn’t enough to [handle] the looters,” Cuomo said. Cuomo added that the city had refused reinforcements from the National Guard, “which would be a large scale support network that we could bring to New York City.”
The governor slammed Mayor Bill de Blasio and NYPD commissioner Dermot Shea, saying “the NYPD and the mayor did not do their job last night, I believe that.”
Why? Because DeBlasio is sympathetic to rioters. He understands their pain.

Cuomo sometimes hits the nail on the head. As he did with this statement!

Granted he's correct.
Wonder if he's worried that media will start bashing national Dims. In fact, he's hacked at NYP for already doing that

We've already got a preview of the next four years of what Biden press conferences will look like.


Mr. President, Trump tweeted........... care to comment? "I'd rather comment on my future plans rather than talk about Trump"!


But Mr. President, you're boring as hell and well, Trump is interesting, so we would rather talk about Trump if you don't mind.

I'll happily yawn my way through 8 years of not batshit crazy every day and watch the media try and fill time.

That's the deal, Jack!
