The Real Issue with the Chris Cuomo Scandal Is CNN, As the News Anchor Weighs Down the Network

Yesterday, a huge document dump from the state attorney general of New York was released, and in it were sections revealing just how involved CNN pundit Chris Cuomo had been in the working defense of his brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. AG Letitia James released a 300-page file of transcripts and other evidence that reveals Chris Cuomo took on far more than the passive advisory role to his brother that he and his network sold to the audience.

This makes for the third time that Cuomo, on this particular issue, has been exposed as being more involved with his brother’s scandal. When the news first broke in February, questions mounted, as Chris had his brother as a guest on his show numerous times in 2020. Those image-burnishing appearances led to Andrew being hailed in the press as a COVID leader, leading to a book deal and hiding the fact that he was covering up a deeply flawed policy that led to elderly deaths during the pandemic.

However, Cuomo is their top-rated personality. It explains their continued support, even though his ratings are something that is a rather relative boast.

This is what CNN has been protecting by allowing Chris Cuomo to remain on the air amid numerous scandals.
He is their top-rated program, yet that does not even crack the top-30 in these rankings. That is not on cable — it is just among the cable news nets. t.co/hAIFt5ZdVF
