From News Nation:
“Chris Cuomo fired from CNN
after investigation”
CNN said on Saturday that it had
fired news anchor Chris Cuomo during an investigation into his efforts to help
his brother, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, respond to allegations of
sexual misconduct. “Chris Cuomo was suspended earlier this week pending further
evaluation of new information that came to light about his involvement with his
brother’s defense,” the cable news network said in a statement. “We retained a
respected law firm to conduct the review, and have terminated him, effective
immediately,” it added. The network suspended Cuomo on Tuesday after details
emerged about how he helped his brother, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, to
face charges of sexual harassment earlier this year. The U.S. Department of
Justice began a civil inquiry in August into sexual harassment claims made
against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, New York officials disclosed on Dec. 2. Chris
Cuomo Chris Cuomo previously acknowledged talking to his brother and offering
advice when the governor faced harassment charges. Subsequent information revealed
far more details about what exactly Chris Cuomo did. Andrew Cuomo resigned in
August to avoid a likely impeachment trial. Cuomo, a lawyer, is 13 years
younger than Andrew Cuomo, who he has described as his best friend. They are
the sons of former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo, who was in office from 1982 to
1996. He worked for several years at ABC News, joining CNN in 2013 as co-host
of the network’s morning show.
^ It seems CNN needs to do a
better job in who they hire and what “news” they tell – otherwise they will
continue to be the news themselves. ^
