A CNN guest may not be invited back for a long time (if ever) after he called out the left-wing network for Chris Cuomo’s absurdly flattering coverage of his older brother, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, during the pandemic.
While appearing on CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” Erik Wemple of the
Washington Post blasted CNN for giving the disgraced governor a national platform on his kid brother’s show, “Cuomo Prime Time,” as if there were no conflict of interest there.
“I would be remiss, Brian, if I didn’t mention CNN’s own huge media story here with Chris Cuomo, the anchor at the 9 o’clock hour, who covered Andrew Cuomo and had all these wonderful love-a-thon interviews with him, more than ten of them, and they suspended the conflict-of-interest rule for Chris Cuomo for those interviews, yet all of a sudden they’ve enforced it again now that Andrew Cuomo is in the midst of a historic scandal in the Albany statehouse,” Wemple said. “So I think that is a major black eye for CNN.”
