CNN Needs To Fire Chris Cuomo

Chris Cuomo

Media pundits and journalists have said CNN should fire Chris Cuomo, after it was revealed he advised his embattled brother on how to beat sexual harassment allegations that have the Democrat fighting for his political life, reports The NY Post.

Chris was given confidential and privileged information by the Executive Chamber, and appeared to draft or edit a proposed statement on the governor’s behalf, according to Attorney General Letitia James’ damning Tuesday report.

The anchor is barred from reporting on his brother, and notably did not mention the country’s biggest political story during Tuesday’s edition of “Cuomo Prime Time.”

Cuomo, who reportedly makes $6 million a year, was one of several non-New York State employees who advised the governor through the political crisis this winter, the report said.

“None of them was officially retained in any capacity by the Executive Chamber or any of the individuals involved,” the report states.

“Nonetheless, they were regularly provided with confidential and often privileged information about state operations and helped make decisions that impacted State business and employees—all without any formal role, duty, or obligation to the State,” it adds.

The apparent conflict of interest has observers calling on CNN to take him off the air, with some pointing out it was just last year when the brothers were hamming it up on the network during the height of New York City’s COVID-19 crisis.
