The star CNN anchor Chris Cuomo was suspended indefinitely by the network on Tuesday after new details emerged about his efforts to assist his brother, Andrew M. Cuomo, the former governor of New York, as he faced a cascade of sexual harassment accusations that led to the governor’s resignation.
Chris Cuomo had previously apologized for advising Andrew Cuomo’s senior political aides — a breach of traditional barriers between journalists and lawmakers — but thousands of pages of evidence released on Monday by the New York attorney general, Letitia James, revealed that the anchor’s role had been more intimate and involved than previously known.
May 2021 "CNN President Jeff Zucker on Tuesday insisted that there are no “special rules” that apply to Chris Cuomo — even though the top anchor was not disciplined for advising his older brother, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, on how to respond to sexual harassment allegations, according to reports." https://www.newsamed.com/cnn-boss-jeff- ... mo-report/Meanwhile: "An email to a representative for Mr. Cuomo was not returned. Anderson Cooper, the usual 8 p.m. anchor on CNN, will extend his broadcast for two hours on Tuesday to take over the hour previously occupied by “Cuomo Prime Time.”' https://archive.md/QQaXE
Mr. Cuomo joined CNN in 2013, when Mr. Zucker hired him away from ABC News and installed him as the host of “New Day,” a morning show. Mr. Cuomo was a veteran correspondent who had covered California wildfires, shooting rampages and war zones.
But he faced early pushback from media critics after twice interviewing his brother on CNN, including a call-in segment after Andrew Cuomo’s inclusion in People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” issue. At the start of the pandemic in 2020, Andrew Cuomo regularly appeared on “Cuomo Prime Time,” where their brotherly banter enthralled viewers and Mr. Zucker alike.
“You get trust from authenticity and relatability and vulnerability,” Mr. Zucker said in an April interview with The Times. “That’s what the brothers Cuomo are giving us right now.”
In an on-air apology to viewers on May 20, after The Washington Post first reported his involvement with his brother’s political effort, Mr. Cuomo conceded he had made “a mistake” in advising the governor. But he also offered a defense, describing himself as “family first, job second.”
