And obviously I cannot cover it because he is my brother,\u201d Chris Cuomo continued. \u201cNow, of course, CNN has to cover it. They have covered it extensively, and they will continue to do so.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It\u2019s almost impressive that such a short collection of words can contain such high levels of misdirection, evasion, and deceit. As we break down each sentence, the true scale of the younger Cuomo\u2019s journalistic malfeasance becomes clear: he\u2019s an integral part of the Cuomo cover-up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>First, let\u2019s take a look at his initial statement, \u201cBefore we start tonight, let me say something that I\u2019m sure is very obvious to you who watch my show.\u201d It\u2019s unclear how Chris Cuomo could conclude that his later statements could possibly be \u201cobvious\u201d to audience members given that he has been completely silent on the matter. Unless the average CNN viewer possesses psychic abilities, of course.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Next, there\u2019s the demonstrably absurd claim, \u201cobviously I cannot cover it because he is my brother.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It goes without saying that familial connections between politicians and journalists are rife with potential for intellectual corruption, with the Cuomo brothers standing as ongoing proof. Throughout 2020, as Andrew Cuomo was lauded as the hero of the pandemic \u2014 with \u201cAmerica\u2019s governor\u201d even finding time during his busy schedule to write a book on leadership and accept an Emmy award for his masterful use of television \u2014 Chris Cuomo couldn\u2019t welcome the New York governor onto his show often enough.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cObviously I cannot cover it because he is my brother\u201d didn\u2019t seem to apply when they were joking about who was the favorite son, debating who was a \u201cmeatball,\u201d and chortling about the size of the governor\u2019s nostrils. It certainly didn\u2019t apply when Chris Cuomo vocally defended Andrew Cuomo during a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-ted-cruz-chris-cuomo-slug-it-out-in-explosive-interview-cruz-donald-trump-broke-you-guys\">segment<\/a> with Sen. Ted Cruz. All while, lest we forget, he ignored the brutal impact of Gov. Cuomo\u2019s nursing home policies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Finally, there is the outright lie, \u201cNow, of course, CNN has to cover it. They have covered it extensively, and they will continue to do so.\u201d As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/cnn-coverage-kavanaugh-allegations-fire-framing\">Fox News<\/a> reported, CNN were actually \u201cstone-silent\u201d about the accusations leveled against Gov. Cuomo by former aide Lindsey Boylan \u201cfor nearly 24 hours,\u201d and \u201cfinally covered the story online \u2026 and led with Cuomo\u2019s denial.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>While Chris Cuomo\u2019s status as CNN\u2019s leading propagandist has been cemented in place by his \u201cobviously\u201d speech, in some ways, he is telling the truth. Whether last year or today, Chris Cuomo\u2019s job is clear: to protect his older brother. That involves hiding unfortunate \u201cobvious\u201d facts, like his failure in leadership or his alleged sexual misconduct.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>While Gov. Cuomo\u2019s fortunes have clearly changed, his younger brother\u2019s strategy has not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span>Ian Haworth is an Editor and Writer for The Daily Wire.
