Brian Stelter wrote in his newsletter last night that CNN faces a “conundrum” on what to do with celebrity anchor Chris Cuomo:
“Flashback to what I said during a lengthy on-air report about the Cuomo brothers in August: “This has been a conundrum for CNN that has no perfect answer, no perfect solution.” I think those words remain true today…”
But it’s not a conundrum. Not at all.
From New Republic deputy editor Jason Linkins:
it could have been his final word if your stupid fucking bosses had done the right thing and escorted him from the building and left him on the side of the road, now the lot of you look like dumb chumps https://t.co/76GotaWuWC

CNN didn’t even ask him to skip a night!
it’s cool that he’s on air tonight as if nothing happened, a real gold star for journalism

He means you, Brian:
no one over there has any self-respect

And no wonder a large number of Americans hate the media:
it’s hard to believe people have a low opinion of journalism with this kind of shining example
