As we told you Monday, reports about transcripts and text messages showed that CNN’s Chris Cuomo used his media sources to run interference for his brother, Andrew Cuomo, who was at the time the governor of New York. It was later learned that CNN will be having conversations and seeking additional information about all this in the coming days and weeks. In other words, CNN will investigate CNN. Yeah, we’re not expecting much either.
Add it all up and none of this was reportedly worth Chris Cuomo mentioning during the open of his show:
Well, now. Not only is Chris Cuomo on tonight, but he’s talking about Omicron as if there was nothing else for him to address.

.@ChrisCuomo says we should treat Omicron as an unknown until we actually know.
“We don’t really know what the threat of this one is,” he says of the latest variant. “…When you know, when you can show why there should be concern, come with it.” pic.twitter.com/1PfwjdrEJA

Cuomo didn’t mention that story right off the top? We’re shocked!
CNN’s Brian Stelter defended Cuomo this way:
For what it's worth, when Chris Cuomo addressed his actions on the air back in August, he said "this will be my final word on it," and he hasn't addressed the matter on TV since. https://t.co/rbaxBMNOhn

LOL. What a shocker.
I have to start trying this at home. “Why did you spend hundreds on more vinyl?!” “Respectfully, I point you to my previous statement on the matter.” https://t.co/lqjnLYkTPk

I can’t believe Stelter actually tweeted that.

Look at this shameless shit. Stelter talking about Cuomo like they don't share office space. A political PR operation. Not a news network. Good boy Brian, March on out there and defend CNN's honor. pic.twitter.com/IWCZ56CmJD

It's not worth anything, Brian.

Unless Fox talks about it.

But of course!
You could walk down the hall and ask him? Aren’t you the media reporter there?

Oh well, since he said it was his “final word” that’s fine! https://t.co/865NefCKNV

Going to avoid all topics I don’t want to discuss by announcing I’ve said my “final word” on it

If you’re explaining, you’re losing. https://t.co/21z2b5hUqo

In that case, CNN’s losing continues.
One last thought:
Reminder that CNN fired three employees for being unvaccinated but continue to stand by Chris Cuomo and Jeffrey Toobin
