Chris Cuomo of CNN, commenting this morning on the disclosure that Sean Hannity has received some legal advice from Michael Cohen, pontificates:
"If you are on television, and you have an audience, and you represent a news organization, you have a duty to disclose things that sniff of conflict. The conflict bar is very low . . . You're supposed to say things protectively, even if they're not necessary."
Yet Cuomo very rarely mentions that his brother Andrew, Governor of New York, is a potential presidential candidate, ranked in the top ten contenders.
Chris might assume that the whole world is aware of this, but that's not true. In any case, can he really be expected to report fairly on presidential politics when his brother is such a partisan? Would it be better for him to recuse himself, and stick, say, to hurricane reporting?
Not a huge deal, but if Hannity had mentioned it at some point, would have defused much of the current criticism.
Chris ever mention on TV his brother is Gov of NY and could run for Pres?
CNN is the worst. Remember the ties some of their reporters had to Glen Simpson and Fusion GPS? Evan Perez was one of them.
So should the “journalists” like Cuomo mention that they fellated Barak Obama for 8 years in the interest of full disclousre?
Yep, without that last name, these two fags would be hustling drunks in a skid row joint.
I did business with 'Mario the Pious' in the early 80s when he was the Lt. Gov. and he did not 'put the arm' on me during the deal, which was a multi-million finance deal.
Since it was just less than $10 million maybe it was too small to try to seek kickbacks, but my company made some very serious money on the deal.
“... without that last name, these two fags would be hustling drunks in a skid row joint.”
I believe that you are giving Mario’s boys too much credit. Hustling drinks would be above their collective intellect.
Mario the Pious? Who came up with that first, Rush or Bob Grant?
