Veteran journalist Katie Couric is criticizing CNN for allowing primetime anchor Chris Cuomo to joke with his brother Andrew, then the governor of New York, on air during the coronavirus pandemic.

"CNN should be able to say 'we shouldn't allow Chris Cuomo to yuk it up with his brother, the governor of New York with a giant Q-tip in the middle of the pandemic because it's good TV," Couric said Tuesday during an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." "They should say, 'We made a bad decision; that was wrong.' And I think it's important for people to acknowledge when they probably have erred the wrong way. "

Why does she care all of a sudden?

[Col Frank Slade]

She’s angling for Fredo’s job that’s why..

[Seruzawa]

I’m glad they did. Criminals like these need to be displayed.

[NWFree]

CNN fake news is a comedy show Katie 🤪

[DoughtyOne]

I think that she operates from a false impression that everyone
thinks she’s a little darling. I don’t necessarily dislike her, but
seeing her once a decade is a bit too much.

Wow... Katie was really brave and original with her comments... 3 months later.

katie couric explaining journalistic integrity to colbert re: cnn.
Yeah, it is as ridiculous as it sounds.

[alstewartfan]

She is despicable. No one cares what this virulent hack has to say.

[Chode]

[Col Frank Slade]

I think she operates from the false impression anyone gives a rats ass what she says about anything.

Wow... Katie was really brave and original with her comments... 3 months later.

Yep

[antidemoncrat]

Why is she in the daily news al of a sudden? Reminds me of the daily dose of the Britney Spears sob story every day for weeks.

[bray]

Wasn’t she bragging about being a Cuomosexual during that time?

[DoughtyOne]

I imagine some on the left like her.

For what that’s worth, knowing their mental capacities.

[DoughtyOne]

It’s been my take that women who flip the bird, drop by 25
points when it comes to my espect.

"CNN should be able to say 'we shouldn't allow Chris Cuomo to yuk it up with his brother, the governor of New York with a giant Q-tip in the middle of the pandemic because it's good TV,"

It wasn't even "good TV". Fredo's complete lack of comic timing (not to mention a personality) ruined what should have been a good joke.

They lost me at “Veteran journalist Katie Couric”

[TakebackGOP]

Yet she removed RBG’s criticism of kneeling.
