The CNN host also sought information about investigative journalist Ronan Farrow, who was working on a story about Cuomo&#8217;s accusers, and relayed that to the governor&#8217;s staff.<\/p>\n<p>The text exchanges, made public as part of New York attorney general Letitia James&#8217;s investigation into Andrew Cuomo, reveal that the younger Cuomo&#8217;s involvement in the scandal was more extensive than previously known. As a result, CNN was forced to release an innocuous statement about &#8220;having conversations and seeking additional clarity&#8221; about the network anchor, who has also been accused of sexual harassment, and his ethically dubious behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Among other things, CNN will have to determine if helping your politician brother smear the women accusing him of sexual harassment is a more serious journalistic offense than masturbating in front of one&#8217;s colleagues on a Zoom call. The network&#8217;s chief legal analyst, Jeffrey Toobin, was <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/media\/jeffrey-toobin-fired\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fired<\/a> from his job at the<em> New Yorker<\/em> after pleasuring himself during an online work meeting in October 2020. CNN apparently does not consider public masturbation to be a fireable offense. The network granted Toobin &#8220;time off while he deals with a personal issue&#8221; and <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/media\/jeffrey-toobin-rises-again\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">welcomed<\/a> him back on the air in June.<\/p>\n<p>CNN&#8217;s chief media correspondent, Brian Stelter, has done his part by <del>reporting new details about the controversy<\/del> parroting the views of the network&#8217;s public relations team and reiterating past statements. &#8220;For what it&#8217;s worth, when [Chris Cuomo] addressed his actions on the air back in August, he said \u2018this will be my final word on it,&#8217; and he hasn&#8217;t addressed the matter on TV since,&#8221; Stelter wrote in his <em>Reliable Sources<\/em> newsletter after noting that Cuomo did not mention the scandal on his show Monday night.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Flashback to what I said during a lengthy on-air report about the Cuomo brothers in August: \u2018This has been a conundrum for CNN that has no perfect answer, no perfect solution,'&#8221; Stelter wrote. &#8220;I think those words remain true today\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For those unfamiliar with the network, CNN frequently presents itself as a serious media outlet solely committed to uncovering the truth and holding the powerful to account.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CNN&#039;s Brian Stelter Refuses To Believe Americans Don&#039;t Trust CNN&#039;s &#039;Reporting&#039;\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QrVPs9XhK8c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Media Jeffrey Toobin kept his job.
