28 August 2021: Daily Show Skewers Chris Cuomo's "Journalism" Career

The Dailyshow-ography of Chris Cuomo: Epic News Bro

This video counts as the bottom story of the day, as does almost every story featuring ethically-troubled "journalist" Chris Cuomo.

It's fun to see the Daily Show's writers take on Andrew M. Cuomo's brother's privileged, self-aggrandizing, and conflict of interest-laden career.

As for Chris Cuomo's current employer, CNN, the news network is best understood as an example of what can happen when a politician's supporters and family members are hired to fill senior management and other prominent positions. CNN's managers and editors are either unable or unwilling to sack the individuals who have routinely advanced the interests of Andrew M. Cuomo rather than tend to repairing CNN's damaged reputation for allowing them to shape and control its news coverage.

That state of affairs is likely to persist into mid-2022, when ownership of CNN is set to change hands from AT&T/WarnerMedia to Discovery, who will need to clean house and bring in new leadership and talent to restore the value to its damaged property resulting from the network's cheerleading for Andrew M. Cuomo's interests.
