PROTECTION RACKET: Nets Bury Cuomo’s Bombshell Nursing Home Scandal
Newsbusters ^ | Feb 15 | Scott Whitlock

Posted on 02/16/2021 6:19:32 AM PST by RandFan

On Friday, Andrew Cuomo’s simmering scandal involving his attempts to hide the true cost of the New York Governor forcing nursing homes to take COVID patients last year burst out into the open. It is now clear that an aide to the Democrat tried to obstruct information because it could “be used against us.”

We've also learned that the governor undercounted by as much as 50 percent the nursing home deaths. Yet since Friday night, the network morning and evening news shows have only allowed a combined four minutes and 21 seconds of coverage.

ABC and CBS only totaled a scant 57 seconds on Friday night's evening newscasts and then dropped the topic. NBC managed 17 seconds on Friday night and three minutes and seven seconds on Saturday’s Today. None of the networks revisited the story on Sunday or Monday morning.

On Saturday, NBC’s Kathy Park highlighted the awkwardness of the debacle facing Cuomo. She deemed him a 2020 “hero” who is now plummeting back to earth: “During the height of the pandemic, here in New York, Governor Cuomo was often hailed a hero for the handling of the COVID outbreak, but in recent weeks the narrative has shifted with more Democrats and Republicans demanding accountability over the reporting of nursing home deaths.”

The MSM went from bias into open collusion with the Democrats. The defining moment was when collectively they absolutely refused to report or investigate the criminality and depravity that was apparent in the Hunter Biden harddrive. Decent ,rational people can only conclude that they are not journalists but vile propagandists. They will say or do nothing that is not consistent with the advancement of the globalist narrative.

Cuomo said yesterday that all the reporting was accurate. Even those covering the story don’t seem to have a real handle on it. Weird all the way around.

Yep. It has been so over the top in the last year that the media can not even report real news because the facts contradict the very narratives they screamed on the street.

Imagine if this was Trump? They most certainly would have impeached him for it AND he would now be charged criminally.

I am not joking.

https://www.propublica.org/article/nursing-homes-cuomo does expose that in early 2021 when the administration of NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo finally announced the total number of overall deaths of those from NY nursing home residents who had died in hospitals, it raised the totals by 50%, from around 8,000 to more than 12,000. And it was later charged that more than 650 deaths of New York nursing home residents presumed to have died of COVID-19 still had not been formally acknowledged

Glad to help. Quite a collection of documentation on Covid here, by the grace of God.
