Dershowitz: CNN Fired Chris Cuomo, but He Was the Wrong Person
newsrael ^ | Newsrael

Posted on 12/08/2021 11:52:10 AM PST by NewsRael

Not a single CNN viewer was misled by Chris Cuomo's activities on behalf of his brother. Everyone knew he was a loyal brother first, and that he would put his love for his brother before any commitment to objectively — as if CNN ever has such a commitment when it comes to politics.

Anyone who watched the ''Chris-Andy'' love fest ''interviews'' would have expected about as much objectivity as Bobby Kennedy had when he was John Kennedy's attorney general.

CNN viewers got exactly what Jeff Zucker, the boss, wanted them to get: an intimate, insider look into the Cuomo brothers and how they were dealing with the governor's problems.

No one was surprised to learn that Chris was helping his brother.

To the contrary, they would have been shocked to learn that he wasn't — and they wouldn't have believed any such denials.

Viewers aren't as dumb or uncritical as Zucker suggests they are.

They see what they see, and they saw the close interaction between the brothers.

They would not be surprised to learn that Chris reached out to his media sources or took other actions that a brother would take.

Nor was Zucker misled.

He invited the interaction.

It boosted ratings for CNN's prime-time show when they were plummeting in relation to those of its competitors.

Maybe no one is surprised he helped his brother. But he still let it interfere with him doing his job properly. He should have taken a job a his brother’s PR person, if that’s what he wanted to do.

I agree with Dershowitz - but regardless, I think Cuomo being fired is a victory for conservatism - a scalp, so-to-speak.

I don’t care if the Leftist circular firing squad eliminates Leftists for the wrong reason - I’m still going to celebrate it.

Same with Alec Baldwin - I don’t care about the facts of the case - to me it’s “another one bites the dust.”

We should welcome their fall from grace - regardless of what precipitates it.

That’s all well and good for entertainment shows. But CNN still prefers to be called a news organization, and they claim to be journalists.

Corporate media’s systemic corruption is much worse than anything Chris Cuomo did. The media has been complicit in covering up the crimes Marxists have exacted on the public for over a century.

You’re acting like ‘the press’ still has credibility - - integrity to lose and all that stuff...
