Oh, look! Andrew Cuomo, aka America’s Governor, is out there leading again:
Cuomo once again wonders why The New York Times — this time he cites the editorial board — didn't provide a better warning for the pandemic.

.@NYGovCuomo blames @nytimes editorial board for not writing that New York should have been shut down earlier in pandemic.
This appears to be a doubling down on comments from the other day that the paper was somehow at fault for not sounding alarm on #coronavirus sooner.

This is the second time this week Cuomo has said the Times should have done more to warn people about the virus.
The paper, like a lot of international and national outlets, had been reporting on the virus for months before the first case was confirmed in New York.

LEADERSHIP.
Did I hear this right? Cuomo said because the New York Times editorial board didn't call for shutting down the state earlier he cannot be questioned for the pace of his response to the coronavirus outbreak?

Is New York’s Governor Cuomo suggesting that the New York Times Editorial Board should govern the state? https://t.co/KJ7dYvWRF9

It kinda sounds like that.
Man when did the NYT Editorial board get elected governor
— Ben McDonald (@Bmac0507) April 30, 2020
If only we had some kind of elected executive officer responsible for making decisions like shutting down during a pandemic who could have made that decision in a timely manner.

Pathetic.
The New York Times is at fault for a lot of things, but this isn't one of them.
