5 April 2022: Hapless Chris Cuomo Quotes Poet in Comparing Himself to a Seed, Exposes His Greed

Fired CNN anchor Chris Cuomo posts cryptic message about his future after fan bemoans 'void' he left

It must be time for the bottom story of the day because once again, the journalism ethics-challenged Chris Cuomo has made the news for something stupid he's either said or done. In this case, it's something he's said, as documented in the following excerpt:

Former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo sent a cryptic tweet about his future on Tuesday, possibly indicating that he could seek a return to the news industry after he was fired by the liberal network last year.

"The people who tried to bury you did not know you are a seed," Cuomo tweeted in response to a fan declaring there is a void without his coverage.

Cuomo’s tweet was paraphrased from Greek poet Dinos Christianopoulos, according to the BBC.

Cuomo, whose Twitter bio states that he’s a "free agent," has demanded $125 million in arbitration from CNN for "unlawful termination." He was fired in December following a brief suspension over his extensive involvement in helping his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D., combat sexual misconduct allegations. A subsequent outside probe of Chris Cuomo's actions at CNN revealed a separate sexual misconduct charge against him from his earlier tenure at ABC News.

While he was alive, Christianopoulos made a reputation for refusing prizes and awards for his poetry because he felt they diminished human dignity. Since Chris Cuomo is looking collect an award of $125 million from CNN, it seems he's cherry-picking the most significant lesson of the poet he's quoting to suit his own self interest.
