CNN’s Chris Cuomo started off on the right foot for a change, calling the effort spearheaded by David Hogg to boycott Laura Ingraham’s Fox News advertisers and even force her off the air “extreme.”
All these calls for Ingraham to lose advertisers and hence her job…seem extreme. We want to disagree with decency; and people should be called out for gratuitous nastiness. but font we also need to give people chance to be better, prove remorse. Certainly spirit of the season https://t.co/EwFKdFgL82

It didn’t take many tweets, though, for Cuomo to ratchet the rhetoric back up:

She is not alone. She is part of a machine that looks to destroy the character of people and institutions that don’t suit their agenda. I just always see it as a battle of ideas and i don’t like censorship or removal of unpopular ideas. https://t.co/TDuKFpoSny

So Fox News host Laura Ingraham is part of a machine that looks to destroy that which doesn’t suit its agenda? Do they have mirrors in the restrooms at CNN?
Hey Chris, you work for a network that hunted down and blackmailed an anonymous internet user who made a Gif critical of said network. A network that hounded an elderly woman in her driveway for running a pro-Trump Facebook group and accused her of collusion with Russia. Piss off https://t.co/ciHKyTZHhH

Chris or his network still haven’t apologized or addressed pushing a debunked story about purchasing an AR15 without ID to 2 million people & straight to the President’s listening session.

Or for rushing to hold a town hall that was exploited by a scandal-ridden Democratic Sheriff looking to cover his own ass before the rest of the world learned of his department’s deadly failures. https://t.co/yCPpu4gXoL

This man brought spoiled brats to CNN to call law abiding citizens 'child-murderers' https://t.co/FZOp2uTPGM

And it wasn’t an apology, but CNN’s Brian Stelter did acknowledge letting gun-control activist David Hogg get away with an untruth or two during his interview on “Reliable Sources.” “There’s always that balance, how many times you’re going to interrupt,” you know.

Imagine being so void of self-awareness that you don't realize that you've just written your autobiography in trying to describe someone else…. https://t.co/UGMHzBw9Bt

actually that's what you guys do at CNN everyday to conservatives and Trump. https://t.co/kgGJTNaqhx

Your network does nothing but shine a spotlight on any and everything anti-Trump. Russia collusion, Stormy Daniels, Trump is racist, Trump has dementia. All bullshit and designed to destroy the character of people and institutions that don't suit your agenda. Look in the mirror. https://t.co/NfaM6UWE63

Aren't you employed by a network which threatened to dox a random internet user just because he made an anti-CNN gif? https://t.co/Nht9GZCOlE

Remember when CNN doxed somebody who made a meme? That was neat. https://t.co/eJOBdl3y4T

Pot calls kettle black. Look what you fools did to a WWE/CNN meme creator. You all threatened to dox a private citizen. You have NO LEVEL of self-awareness. It's why you only have 36 RTs on this tweet. Enjoy your ratio. https://t.co/IJYI24zina
