CNN's Chris Cuomo finds himself under intense scrutiny today. And the heat doesn't appear to be dissipating.
On Monday night, the CNN anchor did his best to distance himself from the latest revelations involving his older brother. During his show, Cuomo never mentioned the allegations that he played a controversial role in then-Gov.ย Andrew Cuomo's defense.
Cuomo eventually resigned over mounting sexual harassment allegations. But not before his younger brother tried to bail him out. (RELATED: CNN Legal Analyst Accuses Rittenhouse of โRehearsed' Testimony)
The younger Cuomo went so far as allegedly use his media sources to get intel on his brother's accusers.
Mediaite reports:
Theย latest reportingย includes Chris Cuomo's private texts revealing that he sought to help his brother handle the accusations, and that the CNN hostย used his sourcesย to find out who was behind them. Additionally, Chris Cuomo โsnooped into the progress ofย Ronan Farrow's reportingย about his brother Andrew Cuomo and relayed it to the governor's inner circle, according to a newly releasedย transcriptย of his testimony to New York state investigators in July.โ
Cuomo's colleague,ย Reliable Sourcesย anchorย Brian Stelterย appeared to come to the host's defense on Monday.
โFor what it's worth, when Chris Cuomoย addressed his actionsย on the air back in August, he saidย โthis will be my final word on it,' and he hasn't addressed the matter on TV since,โ tweeted Stelter.

Handing off toย Don Lemon, the two had another one of theirย lovefests. Unlike in August, when they expressed that they love the other only for Lemon toย kick off his showย with the New York attorney general's report about Cuomo sexually harassing current and former state employees, Lemon made no mention of the latest reporting about his friend.

People like Cuomo rarely take responsibility for anything. It’s a problem we’ve seen with powerful Democrats AND Republicans. Dems would do well to remember that Trump isn’t the only narcissist in politics, he’s just the most cartoonish one.
The problem is that when Democrats do this crap and don’t hold their own accountable, it makes Trump’s boorish behavior (his greatest weakness with swing voters) much more tolerable.
IMO, I think the change in CNN management and Twitter Jack Dorsey stepping down, willingly or unwillingly, is a sign MSM is slowly getting ready to start telling the truth. Reporters guilty of treason, sedition and crimes against humanity will be handled by the military accordingly.
