Watch: Chris Cuomo Rips Into Rittenhouse Defense Arguments on Live TV On Wednesday night, the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse had not yet concluded. That didn’t stop leftist news anchor Chris Cuomo from reaching his own verdict and sharing it with his audience. “Was the threat that he faced something that made using deadly force reasonable?” Cuomo said on CNN. “That last part is gonna be a problem, I’m telling you. Self-defense in Wisconsin is about imminent threat. You have to fear, to use deadly force, that someone is gonna really hurt you, serious bodily injury or death.” Cuomo was not...

On Monday, CNN host Chris Cuomo brought the lowest ratings his primetime show Cuomo Prime Time, a measly fraction of that brought in by Fox News' competing show in the same time slot. Cuomo Prime Time brought in 605,000 total viewers, and just 126,000 viewers in the key age demographic of 25-54, according to data from Nielsen Media Research. In comparison, the Fox News 9pm counterpart Hannity with Sean Hannity brought in a whopping 2,694,000 viewers, with 330,000 viewers aged 25-54. Between the hours of 4 and 11 pm on Monday, Fox News shows outperformed both CNN and MSNBC in...

Hosting a CNN panel at the Vatican, Chris Cuomo made a claim about Biden that was so palpably, provably, false, that you wonder what made Cuomo think he could get away with it. Cuomo said that whereas Trump changed positions on moral issues "to help himself," in contrast, "that has never been what Biden is or was."Biden has never changed his position on a moral issue "to help himself?" Does Cuomo's memory not go back to 2019, when to "help himself" in securing the Democrat nomination, Biden infamously flip-flopped on the Hyde Amendment, which forbids federal funding of abortions? Biden's...

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...

Does CNN host Chris Cuomo know what satire is? He actually suggested that New York Times economist Paul Krugman — whose wild predictions of an economic boom are falling flat — makes him more intelligent. Cuomo brought Krugman on the Oct. 13 edition of CNN’s Cuomo Prime Time to put lipstick on a string of terrible economic news plaguing President Joe Biden’s agenda. Cuomo said that “there are a combination of economic indicators that are conspiring to create a slowdown.” Turning to Krugman, Cuomo said “[f]ew know the stakes better than economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman.” Krugman...

The female producer of Chris Cuomo’s show “Cuomo Prime Time” begged to leave his show after the pair clashed over “significant differences” — with multiple TV sources saying she found the hot-headed host’s behavior threatening. Melanie Buck was executive producer of “Cuomo Prime Time” from April 2018 but was suddenly replaced by Izzy Povich in March 2020 — shortly before Cuomo melodramatically returned to the world from his basement in the Hamptons following weeks of COVID-19 quarantine. A CNN insider confirmed Buck went to CNN boss Jeff Zucker and asked to be taken off Cuomo’s show and moved to another...
