Chris Cuomo Suspended From CNN 'Indefinitely'
2021-12-01
CNN responds to this story from yesterday.
[PJMedia] Chris Cuomo has been suspended indefinitely as a result of the fallout from the latest revelations from the New York attorney general’s investigation of his brother, disgraced former New York Governor Andrew Sonny Cuomo
...former Dem dynastic governor of Noo Yawk, the son and heir of the late Mario Cuoma and formerly married to a Kennedy. Acclaimed for his leadership during the COVID epidemic, he managed the nation's highest corpse count while successfully hiding the returns and writing a book praising himself. Among the nation's horniest politicians, he had about a dozen allegations of sexual harrassment and groping against him when he resigned...
Despite repeatedly claiming he was not helping his brother, text messages released by the New York attorney general’s office showed Cuomo was in regular contact with Melissa DeRosa, the governor’s top aide, assisting with his brother’s response to the allegations and exploiting his media connection to dig up dirt on Andrew’s accusers.

"The New York Attorney General’s office released transcripts and exhibits Monday that shed new light on Chris Cuomo’s involvement in his brother’s defense," a CNN
...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for...
spokesperson said Tuesday evening. "The documents, which we were not privy to before their public release, raise serious questions."

"When Chris admitted to us that he had offered advice to his brother’s staff, he broke our rules and we acknowledged that publicly. But we also appreciated the unique position he was in and understood his need to put family first and job second," the spokesperson continued. "However,
there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened...
these documents point to a greater level of involvement in his brother’s efforts than we previously knew. As a result, we have suspended Chris indefinitely, pending further evaluation."

It is not clear what else CNN needs to evaluate. Given the evidence, outright dismissal would be appropriate.

#9  They gave Chris a long Christmas Holiday, that's about it as far as I can tell.

#6  This explains the gushy and unctuous banter between Chris and (sour) Don Lemon, during which they talked about the Thanksgiving dinner they attended (seemingly at Chris' house). Vomitville.

So CNN does draw a line.
They lie to the Public, just not to each other?

#4  /\ CNN calls it a suspension. Chris Cuomo calls it a generous paid vacation. We call it a media Kabuki dance.

#3  They brought Toobin back after he spanked the monkey on a work Zoom call. He'll be back

Is it possible that CNN's intelligence community talking heads and silent partners should be queried regarding their potential assistance to Chris Cuomo?

Or perhaps no one wishes to go there.
