    CNN on Tuesday said it suspended host Chris Cuomo indefinitely after documents revealed that his damage-control work during a sex harassment scandal for his brother, then-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, was much more complex than previously known.

    “The New York Attorney General’s office released transcripts and exhibits Monday that shed new light on Chris Cuomo’s involvement in his brother’s defense,” a CNN spokeswoman said in an email to CNBC. “The documents, which we were not privy to before their public release, raise serious questions.”

    “When Chris admitted to us that he had offered advice to his brother’s staff, he broke our rules and we acknowledged that publicly,” she said.

    Fair enough. Sounds like he deserved to have some action taken against him. Frankly, I don't care. Except...........it does show CNN has a degree of journalistic integrity by not tolerating the kind of behavior Cuomo engaged in. 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. https://www.npr.org/2020/11/24/9385...arents-for-false-story-claiming-clinton-leaks

    Or how about Tucker Carlson's propaganda special during which he engages in ludicrous revisionist history on the Jan. 6 riot. Filled with baseless conspiracy theories and duplicitous innuendo. Anything discipline from management? Nope. Cuz that is what they do at Faux where journalism is a punchline.

    Hannity is a political opinion show. CNN Chris Cuomo was presenting the "news". In addition, Chris Cuomo is accused of gathering information on the governor's accusers. That is what go him suspended indefinitely.

    Oh man that’s funny. Cnn….journalist integrity….what a gas, dude! I never know you as a comedian but this if funny.

    Frankyl, I was shocked to hear that cnn did that. My guess is to cover their ass before Fox broke the news about the lying Cuomos first. Preemptive strike.

    I don’t think one could really accuse cnn of any integrity since perhaps 1989, back when they reported news.

    CNN, like Cuomo has zero credibility.

    This is only happening because he got caught.

    Sorry, not a fan of Cuomo but all the 24 hour news networks have an entertainment division that starts I believe at 7 pm slot. Cuomo is/was an opinion host in the evenings.

    Regardless, Hannity is a political opinion show. Whether Cuomo fitted in that category or not, he is accused of seeking out accusers of his brother and providing information on the accusers to his brother.

    Smollett was on the phone with Barack Obama and that is why he refused to turn over his phone.

    Obama had hate hoax Harris and bigot booker chime in with "modern day lynching" talking points.

    What the community HATE HOAX organizer is all about = hate hoaxing, lying, and

    HIDING IN THE CLOSET!!!!

    You think Tucker or Hannity are news anchors? No wonder you have such a lopsided opinion of Fox. You can't tell opinion shows apart from news anchors.

    As much as I realize threads often take on a life of their own once started, well, I must say going in the direction of an incoherent screed on Obama is surprising. But then, I guess for The Following anything to distract from CNN doing the right thing and Faux...not....will suffice.

    Oh puhleeze. CNN didn't do this out of some moral obligation. They did it because he was using their resources to gather information on his brothers accusers. Which is possibly a crime if that information is used to intimidate as that would make him an accessory. They did it to save their legal butts. Nothing more.

    Cuomo's head was getting too big to get through the office door. He has learned a good lesson. I wish him well.

    LOl… how about when CNN handed debate questions to dnc ahead of debates and got caught? Hannity biased politically? Hahahah cnn is the left’s propaganda machine. Tucker making opinions you disagree with?

    cnn has no integrity, zero. They are an arm of the left and incite riots by adding fuel to fire. Remember the start of blm? Ferguson? After facts came out, turns out mikey brown wasn’t just standing with his hands up, he assaulted the officer, witnesses admitted it. CNN was on the streets of fergussion pushing lies of ‘hand up don’t shoot’ and claiming officer just killed cause he was a racist. They incited riots with this lie.

    CNN doesn’t have an ounce of integrity.

    as far as cuomo, he was using his journalistic resources to try to dig up dirt on accusers. The only reason cnn suspended him is due to heat from other cnn staffers and complaints, plus ny ag office released documents. Cnn has no f integrity, just saving face here as it became public.

    I knew this would be an anti fox thread and not just information about CNN
    That’s some quality trolling right there!
    “Journalistic integrity”?
    @Lee Atwater I’m curious. Is doctoring up the photo of the Christmas parade killer to make him look white also “journalistic integrity”? guess what network did that?

    As nothingburgers go that article is a double cheeseburger with bacon and a cherry on top. You can listen to Tur's comments here........... https://www.mediaite.com/news/watch...nbc-anchor-katy-tur-repeated-her-spin-on-air/

    Not that this would be the first time right wing media (and resident posters) has tried to put cable stations with an opposing perspective on the defensive by trying to make something out of nothing so they can change the conversation from things like a Faux anchor appearing on stage with Trump at a political rally. Or the daily lies spewed there. False equivalence much?

    Dude.. They still empty Toobin. After his unmentionable behavior during a zoom conference call. CNN have zero scruples. None. Are you going to tell us that his behavior was noble? Laughable. And the whataboutism is priceless. Thanks for the laugh.

    Did Cuomo get suspended once more granular details about what he did came out or did he not? What happened to Hannity for this?

    Fox News censured its biggest star Tuesday, saying that Sean Hannity should not have appeared onstage a night earlier with President Donald Trump at his final campaign rally before the midterm elections.

    Hannity’s cameo appearance Monday in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, directly contradicted a pledge he had made hours earlier not to take the stage with the president. It also contradicted assurances from network brass that, despite a Trump campaign press release touting Hannity’s appearance as part of the rally, he would not be a guest of the president's.

    https://www.politico.com/story/2018/11/06/hannity-trump-rally-2018-963565

    Nothing. Additionally, let's not forget the endless opportunities Faux gave to Trump to tell lies on air without challenging him. Or the fawning, uncritical coverage he received 24/7.

    He was suspended for 8 months. Once again you don't address Faux's failure to discipline their anchors for egregious violations of ethics and journalism. Tucker's ludicrous "special" being the most recent example.
