26 March 2021: CNN Shreds Remnants of Its Credibility

CNN Won’t Even Speak the Name Cuomo On Air, Following Newest of Many Scandals

Every time we think CNN might have hit bottom, they dig their credibility hole deeper. This report finds that it's what CNN isn't saying that screams the loudest about what little remains of its journalistic credibility:

“Good evening. Chris Cuomo is off tonight.” That sentence, uttered at 1:02:16 AM Thursday in a re-airing of Wednesday’s Anderson Cooper 360°, is the only time the name “Cuomo” has been spoken on CNN all day. The day after news of yet another scandal involving New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo broke. A story that involves his brother, CNN’s own Chris Cuomo. Who was “off tonight.”

CNN did not report Thursday on this latest major scandal involving the governor, which involves allegations of favoritism and outright nepotism in his leadership and handling of the Covid-19 pandemic in the state.
