Yesterday, one of the bigger stories confirming the Cuomo administration's cover-up of the full extent of COVID deaths among NY nursing home residents began in April 2020 was reported by major news organizations across the U.S. But if you rely on Cuomo cheerleader CNN's broadcast coverage, you may still be in the dark about the latest evidence documenting the extent of the Cuomo administration's cover-up. Here are a couple of articles detailing CNN's lack of coverage on 28 April 2021:
- CNN's Jake Tapper retweets latest Cuomo bombshell but avoids mentioning it on his two-hour program
-
CNN anchor Jake Tapper continued his bizarre practice of acknowledging unflattering stories about Democrats on social media while not giving them airtime on his own program, the latest example being the bombshell New York Times report about Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Tapper, who is widely regarded as CNN's most serious news anchor, retweeted the explosive report to his 3 million Twitter followers on Wednesday after it was shared by Times deputy managing editor Cliff Levy....
However, despite having been given a second hour of programming as part of CNN's revamped lineup, "The Lead" anchor avoided the growing Cuomo controversy and spent much of his two hours on-air on the FBI raid of Trump ally Rudy Giuliani and hyping President Biden's joint address to Congress.
- Glenn Greenwald hammers CNN's glowing coverage of Cuomo amid latest bombshell in nursing home
-
Glenn Greenwald took aim at CNN's glowing pandemic coverage of Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo amid the latest developments in the nursing home scandal....
"Andrew Cuomo was hiding death counts in nursing homes and defrauding the public at far greater levels than previously known, at the same time that CNN was putting him on air to be heralded as a great and inspiring leader by his own brother, a CNN host," Greenwald tweeted, alluding to the series of interviews "Cuomo Prime Time" anchor Chris Cuomo held with the governor before he was swept in controversy.
"CNN's host not only aided his brother, the Governor, defraud the public by abusing CNN's airwaves to [propagandize] for him, but Chris Cuomo himself is at the center of a scandal: his brother abused state resource to give him special COVID treatment," Greenwald explained.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist continued, "CNN has refused to cover the scandal involving Gov. Cuomo's misuse of state funds to direct special treatment to his brother, their host, at the expense of needier sick people. To the contrary, they *defended* it. How come people don't trust the media? Why does nobody watch CNN?"

But wait, there's more!
- 30 April 2021: Jake Tapper goes two days without mention of Cuomo bombshell on CNN show despite acknowledgement on Twitter
-
This report suggests that CNN's managers and editors are choosing to either block or minimize coverage of the New York Times' long overdue confirmation the Cuomo administration's cover-up of nursing home deaths began in April 2020, months before the U.S. Department of Justice first requested information and data about those deaths. That's significant because major broadcast news outlets, including CNN, almost always follow the New York Times' lead in setting their own news coverage. So much so that whenever there is a deviation from that practice among these outlets, it is notable. In CNN's case, it demonstrates the extent to which their "journalism" has become ethically compromised.
But wait, there's still more!
