A pair of bombshell revelations dropped Thursday and further exposed the corruption of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D). The first shoe to drop came from the Associated Press, early in the evening, and it found Cuomo had sent over 9,000 elderly coronavirus patients back to their long-term care centers (far more than they first claimed). The second story came in the form of a recorded phone call obtained by the New York Post where an aide admits the administration intentionally covered up nursing home deaths.
The AP story dropped before the broadcast networks went to air, but none of them covered it. Not even a news brief. This meant ABC’s World News Tonight, the CBS Evening News, and NBC Nightly News chose not to share the politically damaging story with their viewers.
Instead of covering Cuomo’s deadly incompetence, ABC gawked at police horses that ran down a street. CBS focused on a frivolous story about the British royal family. And over on NBC, they showed off an art museum. A true showcase of their priorities.
“The new number of 9,056 recovering patients sent to hundreds of nursing homes is more than 40% higher than what the state health department previously released,” wrote the AP. “And it raises new questions as to whether a March 25 directive from Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration helped spread sickness and death among residents, a charge the state disputes.”
While the broadcast networks were helping to hide the blood on Cuomo’s hands, anchor Bret Baier was on Fox News Channel’s Special Report noting this:
The moves were made under a controversial order by Governor Andrew Cuomo. That order was rescinded in May amid criticism it accelerated outbreaks. New figures come as the Cuomo administration has been forced in recent weeks to acknowledge the overall number of COVID-19 deaths among long-term care residents is nearly 15,000, up from 8,500 previously disclosed.
Now, the New York Post’s revelations dropped just as ABC and CBS were wrapping up their newscasts, and NBC’s was just about to begin. But their refusal to report the first bombshell made covering “[t]he stunning admission of a cover-up” all that more important and necessary for their Friday morning newscasts.
According to one of Cuomo’s aides, the administration’s reason for covering up nursing home deaths was entirely corrupt and self-serving. “Governor Cuomo’s top aide privately apologized to Democratic lawmakers for withholding the state’s nursing-home death toll from COVID-19 — telling them ‘we froze’ out of fear the true numbers would ‘be used against us’ by federal prosecutors,” the paper wrote.
Of course, Secretary to the Governor Melissa DeRosa blamed their cover-up on then-President Trump (Click “expand”):
“He starts tweeting that we killed everyone in nursing homes,” DeRosa said. “He starts going after [New Jersey Gov. Phil] Murphy, starts going after [California Gov. Gavin] Newsom, starts going after [Michigan Gov.] Gretchen Whitmer.”
In addition to attacking Cuomo’s fellow Democratic governors, DeRosa said, Trump “directs the Department of Justice to do an investigation into us.”
“And basically, we froze,” she told the lawmakers on the call.
The New York Post later noted that the Cuomo administration was also prioritizing apologizing to fellow Democrats over the families who had relatives die by his order.
Now, let’s see if the networks dare to cover the truth.
The networks’ role in the cover up was made possible because of the lucrative sponsorships from WeatherTech on ABC, Liberty Mutual on CBS, and Ford Motor Company on NBC. Their contact information is linked so you can tell them about the biased news they fund.

Well of course they did.
Good post, this is a major breaking news topic. All the major networks, sans FOX, are spiking this story. There is talk that this could be a criminal cover-up. Many GOP Congressmen and other elected officials are rightfully calling for Cuomo to step down. BIG story with legs, yet media won’t cover it.
Don’t expect ANYBODY to be punished or even prosecuted. The elite protect their own at any cost.
The aide will pay the price, not Cuomo.
crimes against humanity
the DNC and GOPe and corrupt Govs murdered tens
of thousands DELIBERATELY to STEAL THE ELECTION.
and speaking about THAT is now a capital crime.
Not surprising. I recall last summer Jane Pauley on CBS Sunday cooed away to Governor Kodos about his once being married into the Kennedy family and that he was newly single at the time of that interview.
Dog face Komo. And he’s not a pony soldier.
To understand why you have to know the players of the major LSM networks. They are all high level DemocRAT operatives or family members of them. How do you control the narrative. Have moles within the origination.
I predict:
1. Information, overwhelming information will surface that Trump lost the election due to widespread election fraud. Over 80% of the adult population will agree with this. It may takes months, but the truth will come out eventually.
2. Information, overwhelming that will show the deceit and corruption of Cuomo relative to the nursing home deaths.
Of course, they're blaming pressure from Trump - that's what the media will focus on, although nothing about this will be mentioned ever again as of today.
Any brave enough Republicans to take this on?
Hopefully the fawning media will demand he give back his emmy, an acting emmy for best liar.
Cuomo should be hanged for what he did. Nothing less.
They can’t cover it because THEY ARE COMPLICIT IN THE CRIME!..........................
The Nets are New York.
Opposing Coumo opens them to political death
IN TIMES SQUARE!.......LIVE ON NATIONAL TV!..............Let one of the family members of the dead draw lots to see who gets to pull the lever................
Even a couple of Dems in NY have been calling for him to be investigated and prosecuted, and in fact, not just Cuomo, but something like a total of four high-level people in state government, who were also in on it. The Secretary to the Governor, a high ranking health official, and another one whom I’ve forgotten.
Some people are also calling for an investigation into Whitmer and Newsom, both of whom also sent COVID patients to nursing homes and obviously have been fudging the stats.
This indeed could be very big. The question is, since in many cases it would have to be a federal level investigation, is there any chance of this happening? Anybody in the Dem DOJ who would investigate or prosecute? I doubt it.
The media is not covering it because they don’t want public momentum to get going that might force the Dems in DC and the DOJ to be put on the spot.
it's manslaughter, 10,00 cases, that's a life sentence. Where is the DOJ?
Of course, hopefully there is still some justice in America.
