ABC, CBS, NBC and MSNBC join in the cover up of Gov Cuomo

[CF DolFan]

First it was Hunter Biden and now it is Gov Andrew Cuomo ... lol. Liberal privilege is everything white privilege it supposed to be but pay no attention to the liberal behind the curtain pointing you away.

Please humor me ... what would I be a hypocrite about?

Cuomo is in some trouble for COVID stuff, too.  He's apparently a dick, in general...has a brash style that makes him hard to work for.

Without getting in the weeds,  I just want to point out Chris Cuomo is banned from covering his brother by the network.

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

Governor, relatively minor allegations, uncorroborated.  Not really national news.   Should local NY stations giving this story air time?  Yes, some but not much.  Should the national media? No.

And before you say. but what about Trump... Trump was president his scandals are national news.  If this level of  allegation was leveled against DeSantos it shouldn’t be national news unless it is extremely slow news day.

That was after he wasn't covering him any longer ... lol. He covered him just fine over the last few years since he was first "banned".

From the New York Post .... CNN claimed Wednesday that it has reinstated a “rule” that prevents Chris Cuomo from “interviewing or covering his brother” — after the host completely ignored the nursing home death cover-up scandal engulfing Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Last year, Chris Cuomo repeatedly interviewed his older brother about the coronavirus pandemic, engaging in often-cringey banter that initially helped boost the ratings for the 9 p.m. “Cuomo Prime Time.”

But the controversy over the Cuomo administration’s admitted cover-up of nursing home death numbers — exclusively revealed by The Post last week — hasn’t been mentioned on Chris’ hour-long show.

That's just silly. I would have said DeSantis and yes the liberal media is dying for him to make a mistake. He would be getting crucified on all channels for both the nursing home scandal as well as the sex allegations. They constantly make up crap on Ronald DeSantis trying to make him look worse than California and New York! haha

CF, are you saying that it is journalistic malpractice to fail to address mention allegations of scandal?
Because Fox News ran interference for Trump for 5 solid years, not least for COVID over the last year.

If there is any criticism you wish to make of liberals or the left, it probably shouldn't be for anything similar to actions done for or by Trump.  You guys have completely abandoned all pretense at a moral high ground with your undying support of that dirtbag.

If it was a Republican, Fox’s only reporting would be to discredit Lindsey Boylan.

For the most part, the "news" stopped being reporting many years ago and became biased opinions instead of the news.  I hate that there is "left wing media" and "right wing media".  Unfortunately, most people in the US are so intellectually lazy that they would rather hear "news" that supports their own opinions rather than just straight up reporting on events that allow us to make up our own minds about the stories.   I probably didn't phrase that very clearly but my point is that it is really hard to a source of news that is not biased.  The Wall Street Journal used to be really good but even they seem to have more of an agenda over the last 20 years or so.

This is so true.

Seems to me that news started becoming "biased" at almost exactly the same time that the Fairness Doctrine was repealed and personalities like Rush Limbaugh appeared & started criticizing the "liberal media" non stop.

But I am interested to hear whether conservatives have a different timeline... when do y'all think mainstream news stopped being objective and neutral?

I don't know that I am really all that conservative although I guess I am on some issues.  But I think you are right in that the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine had at lease "some" influence on the change.  There are probably a handful of contributing factors, not the least of them being the growing intellectual laziness of society.  It used to be that a pretty large percentage of people were inquisitive and very interested in current events and by "interested", I mean interested to the point of wanting to hear factual information rather than being spoon fed what to think.  The fact that way too many people are more interested in "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" than they are in the world around them created an intellectual vacuum that made it very easy for biased editorials disguised as "news" to come in and fill that void.

you just described Rupert Murdocks strategy entirely. This was the fox news MO for a long time and the "left" does a very poor job of copying the strategy.
