On Monday we told you about CNN media correspondent Brian Stelter hinting that it’s in some way a conflict of interest for Fox News to hire the daughter-in-law of former President Donald Trump:
Fox is now directly paying the Trump family — specifically Lara Trump https://t.co/nGUbDs9nvx

Journalist Glenn Greenwald threw some self-awareness in Stelter’s direction in a three tweet thread:
NBC News hired George Bush's daughter Jenna and also Bill & Hillary Clinton's daughter Chelsea, paying them way above-market salaries despite no journalistic experience. So NBC News directly paid the Bush & Clinton families.
Also, CNN pays a family member of Gov. Cuomo – a lot. https://t.co/ljBZrHoiph

Also, let's remember: a CNN anchor is directly implicated in a major corruption scandal because he got his brother, the Governor of New York, to use state funds to provide him special medical treatment, depriving older & needier citizens who were sick:https://t.co/8K5PhvmV5w

More damning details from @washingtonpost on the abuse of state funds to benefit CNN anchor Chris Cuomo by his brother, the Governor of New York.
Never forget: not only is CNN not covering this scandal, they're *defending* this abuse of power:https://t.co/3nshx44GoI

CNN reporters seem to spend so much time watching Fox News that maybe they don’t have a clue what’s going on with their own network.
Love it when Greenwald hammers coward @brianstelter https://t.co/A6MqsV5X3z
