BRETT: You know, hypocrisy is a standard-issue requirement if you\u2019re somebody on the progressive left. And one of the people who is most on the progressive left or one of the most on the progressive left obviously would be Fredo. That\u2019s right, Chris Cuomo. So it\u2019s cool that Fredo doesn\u2019t apparently believe all women, and actively attempted to undermine them, right?<\/p>\n

Well, no doubt you\u2019ve heard the reporting in these last hours, CNN admitting that Chris Cuomo inappropriately provided his brother (the governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo) advice on sexual harassment. Now, before you go thinking, “Oh, they had a couple of phone calls. He was on the phone with him saying, ‘Hey, if I were in your shoes, I would do this or I would do this,'” No, no, no, no, no.<\/p>\n

\"\"Chris Cuomo was actually on conference call with the governor\u2019s political staff advising the governor\u2019s political staff on the ways to handle the accusations of sexual improprieties to be “diplomatic.” Now, of course, “CNN\u2019s Chris Cuomo Faces No Consequences After Colluding To Cover Up Brother\u2019s Scandals.” That\u2019s what The Federalist writes.<\/p>\n

“Chris repeatedly ran interference for his brother in the early months of the pandemic by joking around on live television and refusing to ask him questions about the rising nursing home death toll that resulted from the governor\u2019s deadly policy. The anchor repeatedly brought his brother on his show during the peak of the governor\u2019s response to COVID-19 in 2020, but now claims any further coverage of the family member would be a conflict of interest,” right?<\/p>\n

Former CNN media reporter, now NBC and MSNBC reporter Dylan Byers chimed in on Twitter to explain (summarized), “CNN\u2019s not going to drop their piece of the Cuomo coaction because they have just renewed his contract.” So he\u2019s safe. Everything\u2019s looking good. Everything\u2019s looking solid. Well, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo took part in a series of these strategy calls — that didn\u2019t cross the line — with his brother and his brother\u2019s staff on how the governor should respond to misconduct allegations? Come on. Well, how was it that Chris Cuomo explained it? He explained it like this.<\/p>\n

FREDO: It was a mistake because I put my colleagues here, who I believe are the best in the business, in a bad spot. And I am sorry for that. I\u2019ve never tried to influence this network\u2019s coverage of my brother. In fact, I\u2019ve been walled off from it. This is a unique and difficult situation, and that\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n

\"\"I know where the line is. I can respect it and still be there for my family, which I must. I have to do that. I love my brother. I love my family. I love my job. And I love and respect my colleagues here at CNN. And again, to them I am truly sorry. You know who I am. You know what I\u2019m about. And I want this to be said in public.<\/p>\n

BRETT: Now, if you didn\u2019t anything wrong, why would you apologize? Oh, I know. You set the line. You can move the line here. You can move the line there. You know, Rush was asked, “Are the Democrats an arm of the media?”<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Mike, Columbia, South Carolina. Welcome to the EIB Network, sir. Hello.<\/p>\n
