    We aren't discussing Fox here, are we? We're discussing CNN. It's bad. You know it. I know it. And desperation is forcing you to distract folks and turn the conversation away from your team because, well, it's pretty embarrassing what CNN continue to do and whom they employ. Why not just be honest about the fact that CNN hasn't changed enough to keep the world from laughing at them yet. And suspending Cuomo for his egregious behavior from his sexual assault of women to his abuse of his position at CNN to promote his brother is soggy toast at best. Nothing here that is a good look for them. They look like idiots chasing a revenue stream that never existed based on some BS fantasy that they still believed they were relevant in.

    From the OP. As compared to.......oh I don't know.......Faux news. Remember when Sean Hannity appeared on stage with Trump at a rally? An overt show of support for a political candidate from the "fair and balanced" (wink) network. Or his incredibly deceitful coverage of Seth Rich's murder.

    "And desperation is forcing you to distract folks and turn the conversation away from your team"
    Exactly what you're doing.

    We understand that you were being dishonest from the beginning. The conversation is about the failure of CNN and on a side note, your unwillingness to not engage in whataboutism. See, I think we can all agree now.

    When you discover why the DCPD can't find a murderer of someone as innoxuous as Seth Rich, you let us know... You do know by now that Hillary was the villain in all of those stories including the Russia Hoax she perpetrated, right?

    The post was not about Fox News, about which I don't care at all. It was about Tur masquerading as a journalist while acting as a flack.

    I understand your need to hijack the thread. But it is about CNN doing the right thing with respect to Cuomo as opposed to Faux encouraging their anchors to do worse by turning a blind eye to the behavior of their on air staff.

    A ridiculous characterization belied by the tape of what she said.

    a Republican network went easy on a Republican president? That seems pretty normal to me.

    Once again you folks won't address Faux's failure to discipline their anchors for egregious violations of ethics and journalistic practices.

    CNN brought Toobin back after he spanked the monkey on a work Zoom call. Cuomo will be back from his paid vacation before you know it.

    I wouldn’t call giving someone time off a way to discipline someone
    I’m sorry your CNN praise thread is failing but what do you expect?
    At least I can admit there are some shenanigans on fox but you seem to have this belief that CNN is a moral beacon of light because they suspended Fredo

    Sorry, it's not ridiculous, as confirmed by the tape. You're attempting the Darkness at Noon defense.

    Two peas in a pod. Fox and CNN are both committed to one cause....

    NEVER reopen the investigation into 911...

    Do you understand that suspending doesn't mean fired? They need to do an in-depth investigation and suspending him is what they had to do to prevent any legal troubles. There's contracts involved, and lots of nuance.

    At this point, I don't see any reason for them to fire him. Regardless of the accusations and legal troubles of the former governor, Chris has nothing to do with that other than they are brothers. And from what I've read and seen of their interactions, they do seem to love each other as brothers, so I'm kind of at a loss as to what all this schadenfreude aimed at him could be about other than the typical right-wing outrage machine going at it again.

    It is?

    Please, point me to where that was established other than in some minions' minds that are a blank canvas for their right-wing media overlords?

    The schadenfreude results from his being the most obnoxious, arrogant a$$ on CNN. I think the network will have to fire him, not even left leaning journalists are going to defend him.

    What has he done?

    I'm actually more interested in what gets under your skin about CNN? Can you somehow muster something up specific without all the emotional embellishment?

    I did not have to read far to know that you were going to use this to try to Pat CNN on the back.

    They had no choice it came out publicly it's not like they did it from an abundance of integrity.

    Now you let us know when the rest of the left wing media holds their people accountable.

    I am not a big fan of CNN ever since Wolf Blitzer came aboard. I was also a fan of Mario Cuomo but after having to listen to Andrew Cuomo pontificate and condescend to every news station for hours every day I was glad to see him get slapped down. Evidently Chris is a big pontificating know it all too. Maybe these two can open up a puzzle joint in Brooklyn now...Good riddance!!!

    Did Tucker feed Trump the debate questions?

    Oh no that's right that was another Network one you claim has some modicum of journalistic integrity...

    He used CNN resources to find dirt on his bother’s female accusers, for one. His reporting represented a conflict of interests between objective reporting and being a political tool for his brother. That’s the reason CNN suspended him and in my opinion will not bring him back, he’s damaged the brand.

    Accusations have to be investigated, and there are probably a lot more nuanced details than you would rather not acknowledge, including what one would define as CNN resources.

    And he's not a reporter, not in this role with CNN.

    He has a good time slot and he's done well with it. You obviously don't like him and that's your business, but you are demonstrating the very definition of schadenfreude. At least be honest about that.
