New York Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo is now facing the most serious accusations of sexual misconduct, and CNN has completely avoided the latest developments within two days of programming.
After the Times Union released the story on Tuesday that a sixth accuser spoke out against the governor in trouble because of an incident at the Executive Mansion late last year, the Albany newspaper released a bombshell report on Wednesday which included disturbing details from the unknown Cuomo administration aide.
CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC ALL AVOID THE COVERAGE IN THE AIR OF THE SIXTH ACCUSATOR OF CUOMO AFTER BREAKING HISTORY
“The employee, whose identity is being concealed by the Times Union, was called to the mansion under the apparent pretext that she would help the governor with a small technical problem involving his cell phone,” said the Times Union, according to a source with direct knowledge of claim. “They were alone in Cuomo’s private residence on the second floor when he closed the door and supposedly reached into her blouse and started stroking it, according to the source.”
The report continued: “The person, who is not authorized to comment publicly, said that the woman – who is much younger than Cuomo – told the governor to stop. It was not the only time he touched her.”
Cuomo denied the accusations, but called the reported details “distressing”.
The second Times Union report, which was published late on Wednesday, received no airtime on CNN after the pro-Cuomo network spent the previous 24 hours avoiding the newspaper’s first report revealing the existence of a sixth accuser .

MSNBC, which also avoided developments of sexual misconduct on Tuesday, made a brief reference to the latest Times Union report on Wednesday night “The Last Word”, when host Lawrence O’Donnell asked the leader of the majority in the Senate, Chuck Schumer, DN.Y., to react to the last accuser, although O’Donnell refrained from sharing details about Cuomo’s alleged attempts.
Previously, CNN spent almost an entire day before airing the allegations made by Cuomo’s first accuser, Lindsey Boylan, a former aide who wrote an essay accusing her former boss of unwanted touches, inappropriate comments and forced kisses on the lips. her.
The mainstream media previously welcomed Cuomo’s “leadership” in the early months of the coronavirus pandemic and did everything to minimize the nursing home scandal that has grown since last spring.
CNN, in particular, has been in a difficult position, as the governor is the older brother of the network’s star anchor, Chris Cuomo.

Rather than covering the Democratic governor objectively, CNN allowed the host of “Cuomo Prime Time” to welcome the governor for a series of friendly interviews that lacked substance but were heavy on fanfare. While the political controversy of Andrew Cuomo’s nursing home, which critics say was responsible for the deaths of thousands of elderly New Yorkers, was barely mentioned, the CNN anchor set aside a lot of time for fraternal play, exaggerating the governor’s presidential prospects and even for comedy.
Now, while his brother faces several scandals and investigations and calls for his resignation and impeachment, Chris Cuomo said he “obviously” cannot cover the governor in trouble, despite previously starring in what critics dubbed “Cuomo-Cuomo variety time” from CNN.
