“#CNN, Chris Cuomo ripped for anchor’s silence on bro’s AG probe<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

As nearly unanimous calls for Gov. Cuomo\u2019s resignation reach a fever pitch, some are calling for his brother to be taken off the anchor desk at CNN.<\/p>\n

Media<\/a> pundits and journalists have said the cable network should fire Chris Cuomo, after it was revealed he advised his embattled brother on how to beat sexual harassment allegations that have the Democrat fighting for his political life.<\/p>\n

Chris was given confidential and privileged information by the Executive Chamber, and app<\/a>eared to draft or edit a proposed statement on the governor\u2019s behalf, according to Attorney General<\/a> Letitia James\u2019 damning Tuesday report.<\/p>\n

The anchor is barred from reporting on his brother, and notably did not mention the country\u2019s biggest political story during Tuesday\u2019s edition of \u201cCuomo Prime Time.\u201d The 50-year-old was spotted catching up on The New York Post\u2019s coverage of the scandal as he boarded a helicopter from the Hamptons to Manhattan before the news<\/a>cast.<\/p>\n

Cuomo, who reportedly makes $6 million a year, was one of several non-New York State employees who advised the governor through the political crisis this winter, the report said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNone of them was officially retained in any capacity by the Executive Chamber or any of the individuals involved,\u201d the report states.<\/p>\n

\u201cNonetheless, they were regularly provided with confidential and often privileged information about state operations and helped make decisions that impacted State business and employees\u2014all without any formal role, duty, or obligation to the State,\u201d it adds.<\/p>\n

The apparent conflict of interest has observers calling on CNN to take him off the air, with some pointing out it was just last year when the brothers were hamming it up on the network during the height of New York City\u2019s COVID-19 crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf CNN, from the start, had just said: Chris Cuomo cannot objectively report on his brother and therefore will abstain and others will do it, that would have been fine,\u201d reporter Glenn Greenwald tweeted<\/a> Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead, they cheered as he heaped praise on his brother and touted him as a future President.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t ever forget while Andrew Cuomo was killing elderly people and horrifically sexually abusing women \u2013 this is how he was interviewed on @CNN<\/a> \u2013 a comedy show with giant q tip props,\u201d former \u201cThe View\u201d host Meghan McCain wrote<\/a> Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernor Cuomo should resign and his brother, the purported journalist who advised him on strategy regarding these allegations, should step down or be fired from his position at CNN,\u201d writer Saaed Jones tweeted<\/a> Tuesday.<\/p>\n

CNN officials offered the television host the opportunity to take a leave of absence from the network and advise his brother, according to The New York Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When the anchor\u2019s involvement in the governor\u2019s war room was initially reported, CNN anchor Jake Tapper was reportedly among his colleague\u2019s critics, telling the newspaper the situation \u201cput us in a bad spot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot imagine a world in which anybody in journalism thinks that that was appropriate,\u201d Tapper reportedly said in May.<\/p>\n

CNN has not issued a statement about its prime time anchor\u2019s role in the sexual harassment probe, and did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Post.<\/p>\n

New York Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa, who has previously called on the network to fire Chris Cuomo, Wednesday asked the anchor to \u201cuse his journalistic pulpit\u201d to denounce his older brother.<\/p>\n
