3 April 2021: "Andrew Cuomo Breaks the News"

Churchill: Andrew Cuomo breaks the news

We're grouping several stories related to recent news coverage of Governor Cuomo's multiple scandals under the title of Albany Times-Union Chris Churchill's 3 April 2021 column, which is really a tongue-in-cheek analysis of the discussions he imagines would have taken place as Team Cuomo produced his pandemic leadership book as they were also covering up the full extent of COVID nursing home deaths during the period his administration's deadly 25 March 2020 directive was in effect.

While that article is the lead, there are real signs the Governor Cuomo did, in fact, break at least one news outlet's journalistic credibility:

• CNN goes all week avoiding latest Cuomo scandals; skips 9th accuser, 'VIP' COVID testing, book controversy
• How Chris Cuomo’s Southampton Covid-19 Test Became Subject of Gov. Cuomo’s Impeachment Probe

We think the story of how CNN's reporters, editors, managers, and executives chose to shred the news organization's credibility for the sake of advancing a "Cuomo the Hero" narrative to influence U.S. politics is a case study in media corruption. You can catch up on its dubious milestones by searching CNN on this blog.
