21 May 2021: How CNN's Cuomo Shredded CNN's Credibility

Chris Cuomo Secretly Advised Brother to Fight Sexual-Misconduct Allegations

This article picks up on the loss-of-credibility problem created by CNN's managers and editors decisions to allow Chris Cuomo free rein to promote the interests of his brother, Governor Andrew Cuomo.

The report that Chris Cuomo was advising his older brother in private as he feigned neutrality in public is one of several concerning developments in the pair’s relationship in the pandemic year. At the beginning of the pandemic, the CNN host’s ratings soared as he fawningly interviewed his brother about developments in New York, then the epicenter of the outbreak. That good press helped polish the governor’s reputation as he mishandled key aspects of the shutdown, including a botched order that killed thousands in New York nursing homes, a scandal his administration then attempted to cover up.

Allegations that the governor’s office manipulated that data are now being investigated as part of a criminal inquiry by federal prosecutors in Brooklyn, who are also looking into another reported conflict of interest between the brothers: When coronavirus tests were scarce at the beginning of the pandemic, the governor enrolled members of his family and staff in a VIP program granting them priority access to much-needed tests.

What did CNN's managers and editors know, and when did they know it? It's time they came clean!
