6 April 2020: Fashion Publication Covers Governor Cuomo's Nursing Home Scandals!

Want to know how unserious a certain cheerleader news outlet like CNN has become? Click through to this article, which appears in a fashion-oriented publication, for better coverage of Governor Cuomo's biggest scandal! Here's a short excerpt focusing on the governor's COVID nursing home scandals:

One year after the COVID pandemic first hit New York, a clearer picture has emerged of just how badly the Cuomo administration mishandled the crisis in the state’s nursing homes, which became epicenters within the global epicenter. In just the first few weeks, 2,000 residents died. Cuomo’s directive to send COVID-positive patients into facilities packed with vulnerable, high-risk people — the elderly and immunocompromised — has been heavily criticized, but it is just one aspect of his decision-making currently under scrutiny: After issuing that order, he slipped a provision into the state’s budget that shielded corporate officials who run New York hospitals, nursing homes, and other health-care facilities from COVID-related liability. (It was drafted by industry lobbyists.) And after that, his administration covered up the nursing-home death toll of residents and employees, underreporting to the public the actual number — more than 15,000 — by half.

Did we mention this report appeared in a fashion-oriented publication? The article goes on to consider other problems affecting nursing homes in New York from a pro-union perspective, but still, they're not that far away from reaching the quality of coverage of the New York Times!
