Media Research Center finds ABC, NBC, CBS give nearly three times as much airtime to sex misconduct claims

Democrat New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is caught up in two major scandals, but the mainstream media only appears interested in one of them.

Cuomo was already under fire for his handling of nursing home deaths at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic when multiple women accused him of sexual harassment and making inappropriate advances.

At least five accusers had come forward following the publication of two reports Saturday night. Cuomo has apologized for acting "in a way that made people feel uncomfortable," but has denied further wrongdoing.

Cuomo was about to go down for manslaughter....bad for the DERP brand.

They guaranteed him to go down for “me too” ...better optics for the DERPS

They did not have any problem with the nursing home deaths. It was the harassment that galled them.

Old people= not lurid, won’t sell
Bimbo eruptions= lurid, will sell

It’s good to see that at least some part of the journalism profession still follows time-honored traditions and norms.

I’ve been wondering about that.

I realize this is far out there...but what if we’re barking up the wrong tree.

What if the scandal isn’t that Albany lowered the numbers...but was hiking them.

That would fit in with what we know about WuFlu.

And it would be far more scandalous, as well as have nationwide implications, if a state was caught goosing the numbers.

IOW, better to cop to lowering than hiking them.

Just a thought.

We need to consider that at least some of those families are quite pleased with the unexpected windfalls!
